The Macallan M, 2022 Release, among the darkest of The Macallan outturns, shines a light on a rare selection of irreplaceable casks. Prolonged contact with sherry oak has burnished a deep and brooding single malt.
This rare and exclusive spirit epitomises transparency as the quality of the whisky glistens in the crystal Lalique decanter, encapsulating Macallan's naturally dark spirit. A personification of the rich influence that sherry seasoned oak casks have on the spirit which rests within.
The spirit is presented in a flawless crystal decanter. Individually numbered, it is the expert work of Lalique, doyen of French glass making since 1888. The six facets of the decanter reflect and refract light, dancing the dark whisky to life.
Their inspiration stems from The Macallan’s six defining pillars, namely, The Estate, our Curiously Small Stills, Exceptional Oak Casks, Sherry Wine, Natural Colour and Mastery. Together, they underpin the renowned quality and rich character of their whisky.
A darkness rich with promise. A light to sparkle in the sun. There could be no better expressions of single malt and contemporary crystal glassware to complement one another.
