Macallan Harmony Collection Smooth Arabica Travel Exclusive

Description

The Whisky:

Travel Retail Exclusive: Macallan Harmony Collection Smooth Arabica was a travel retail exclusive, meaning it was primarily sold in airport duty-free stores and Macallan boutiques in travel retail. This distinguishes it from its counterpart, “Inspired by Intense Arabica,” which was available in domestic markets.

Collaboration: The whisky was crafted by Macallan Whisky Maker Steven Bremner, who collaborated with a team of coffee experts, including an Ethiopian coffee grower and a Scottish coffee roaster. This partnership allowed him to gain a deep understanding of the coffee-making process and to select casks that would complement the coffee-inspired flavor profile.

Cask Selection: This single malt was matured in a combination of European and American oak sherry-seasoned casks. The casks were specifically chosen to impart flavors that would harmonize with coffee.

ABV: It is bottled at 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes :

The tasting notes for the Macallan Harmony Collection Smooth Arabica are designed to evoke the experience of coffee and its complementary flavors.

Colour: Toffee.

Nose: Ground coffee, hazelnuts, sweet raisin, dark cherry, toffee, vanilla, and sweet oak.

Palate: Americano coffee, raisins, cherries, soft spices, walnut, vanilla, and oak.

Finish: A lingering coffee bean profile that turns sweet and creamy.

Packaging:

In keeping with the Harmony Collection’s theme, the packaging for the Macallan Harmony Collection Smooth Arabica is a key feature. The presentation box and bottle label are made from discarded coffee bean husks, a sustainable by product of the coffee-making process. The green hue of the packaging is inspired by the colour of an unroasted coffee bean.

As a limited-edition travel retail exclusive, the Macallan Harmony Collection Smooth Arabica is highly sought after by whisky enthusiasts and collectors.
