Product Description

Macallan M The Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky: Sherry-Seasoned Oak in a Handcrafted Lalique Decanter

Macallan M The Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare, non-age-stated single malt created to showcase the dark natural color and concentrated character The Macallan develops in selected sherry-seasoned oak casks. It belongs to the distillery’s luxury M Collection rather than the core Sherry Oak or Double Cask ranges.

M was conceived through a collaboration between The Macallan, creative director Fabien Baron and French crystal house Lalique. The six-faceted crystal decanter references The Macallan’s Six Pillars and is individually handcrafted, making the vessel an important part of the presentation as well as a container for the whisky.

The exact strength has varied across M releases, and reliable listings connected with this product’s UPC do not agree on one ABV. For accuracy, the alcohol content should be taken from the label on the supplied bottle rather than inferred from a different annual release.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Dried fruit, polished oak and orange peel are joined by vanilla, ginger, cinnamon and dark caramel.

Palate: Rich sherry-seasoned oak frames raisins, dates, citrus oil, warming spice, dark chocolate and a dense malty sweetness.

Finish: Long and drying, with lingering dried fruit, wood spice, orange and dark cocoa.

Food Pairings

Pair with aged hard cheese, roasted nuts, duck, dark chocolate or fruitcake. The whisky’s concentrated dried-fruit and oak profile is best matched with restrained, richly flavored foods rather than delicate dishes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and allow the whisky several minutes to open. Add only a few drops of water if desired. Keep the crystal decanter upright, out of direct sunlight and protected from sudden temperature changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
