Macallan Concept Full Set

An Innovative Collection

The Macallan Concept Full Set features three unique bottlings, each celebrating visionary approaches to whisky-making. Exclusive to the travel retail market, these releases push the boundaries of traditional whisky production.

Concept Number 1 (2018)

The 2018 Macallan Concept Number 1 is inspired by surreal art and represents a bold departure from conventional whisky-making. This single malt is crafted by first maturing the whisky in sherry-seasoned oak casks, then finishing it in ex-bourbon casks. This innovative approach explores maturation more imaginatively.

Concept Number 2 (2019)

The 2019 Macallan Concept Number 2 continues the tradition of blending whisky with art and culture. This release brings together the passion for music and whisky, as championed by The Macallan Whisky Maker, Steven Bremner. The whisky is aged in sherry-seasoned American oak casks, imparting a rhythmic sweetness of vanilla, citrus, and toffee. Miguel Martin sherry casks add a rounded spiciness, while ex-bourbon casks contribute floral citrus and vanilla harmonies.

Concept Number 3 (2021)

The 2021 Macallan Concept Number 3 follows the same innovative spirit. It combines music and whisky, reflecting the dual passions of Steven Bremner. The whisky matures in sherry-seasoned American oak casks, offering a sweet blend of vanilla, citrus, and toffee. Miguel Martin sherry casks provide a spicy edge, while ex-bourbon casks add harmonious floral citrus and vanilla notes.

Conclusion

This full set of The Macallan Concept releases showcases a fusion of whisky-making expertise with creative artistry. Each release is exclusive to the travel retail market, making them a unique addition for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike.
