Description
THE MACALLAN HARMONY COLLECTION GUARDIAN OAK 70CL
The Macallan Harmony Collection Guardian Oak 70cl is a unique whisky. That celebrates the relationship between craftsmanship and nature. With an ABV of 44.2%.
This exclusive release draws inspiration from both The Macallan’s mastery in whisky making and a creative collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. As part of the Harmony Collection, this whisky stands as the fourth release in the series. And it is available exclusively in travel retail locations from January 2025.
Matured in a combination of first fill and refill European oak casks seasoned with sherry, Guardian Oak delivers a flavor profile deeply rooted in the wood.
The oak imparts classic notes of dried fruits, such as dates, figs, and raisins. These rich flavors blend harmoniously with orange peel, dark chocolate, and warming nutmeg.
Over time, the interaction between the whisky and the oak casks enhances the complexity of the spirit, creating a deep, satisfying finish.
The whisky’s creation is not only about flavor but also about honoring nature. Both The Macallan and Cirque du Soleil share a commitment to creativity and environmental respect.
The design of this release highlights the connection between the natural world and human experience.
Portrayed by an illustration of a human figure, Davonna, intertwined in the branches of a European oak tree. This artwork symbolizes the balance of nature and the potential within humanity.
The Macallan Guardian Oak reflects a deep connection to the land. The oak used for maturation, which takes six years to craft, is integral to the distinct color and flavor of the whisky.
Each cask is carefully made to Macallan’s exacting standards. Ensuring it imparts up to 80% of the whisky’s flavor and 100% of its natural color.
This attention to detail in both the cask-making and maturation process results in a whisky that is rich, complex, and full of character.
This release also emphasizes sustainability. The presentation box and bottle label incorporate oak chippings, a by-product from creating the whisky casks.
This use of natural materials underlines The Macallan’s commitment to reducing waste while maintaining the high standards of their products.
Macallan’s Guardian Oak is a celebration of both innovation and tradition. With its limited availability worldwide.
Finally, it stands as a tribute to the brand’s enduring connection with nature and craftsmanship. Offering whisky lovers an exceptional experience that’s truly “in harmony with nature.”
