In celebration of its 200-year anniversary, The Macallan has introduced the fourth instalment of its acclaimed Harmony Collection, featuring two exceptional new expressions: Harmony Vibrant Oak and Harmony Guardian Oak.
While Guardian Oak is exclusive to global travel retail, Vibrant Oak is available to Australian liquor retailers nationwide, giving whisky enthusiasts an opportunity to experience this limited-edition release.
A Tribute to Oak and Craftsmanship
This latest Harmony Collection continues The Macallan’s dedication to sustainability by incorporating recycled organic materials in its packaging. Oak chippings from the cask production process have been repurposed to create the presentation boxes and bottle labels, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.
“Oak plays such an important role in the colour and flavour of The Macallan, and bringing it to life through our packaging is incredibly inspirational,” said Diane Stuart, Whisky Maker.
“Vibrant Oak and Guardian Oak provided an opportunity to select the casks that deliver the classic characteristics of our two key wood types—sherry seasoned American oak and sherry seasoned European oak casks—showcasing the differences these wood types deliver.”
