Renowned single malt Scotch whisky brand The Macallan has unveiled the latest in the Harmony Collection, with two new whisky releases as part of the brand’s unique collaboration with Cirque du Soleil.
Celebrating The Macallan’s 200 Year Anniversary, Harmony Vibrant Oak (available in domestic retail) and Harmony Guardian Oak (exclusively available in global travel retail) are making their grand debut.
Vibrant Oak (SRP: $200) has been matured in a combination of first fill American and second fill sherry seasoned oak casks, while Guardian Oak (SRP: $185) has been matured predominantly in a combination of first fill European and second fill sherry seasoned oak casks, according to the company. For this edition of the Harmony Collection, oak chippings, a by-product created while making oak casks for The Macallan, were repurposed and used in the presentation box and the bottle labels.
Diane Stuart, whisky maker at The Macallan said in a statement: “Oak plays such an important role in the color and flavor of The Macallan and bringing it to life through our packaging is incredibly inspirational. Vibrant Oak and Guardian Oak, provided an opportunity to select the casks that deliver the classic characteristics of our two key wood types, sherry seasoned American oak and sherry seasoned European oak casks, showcasing the differences these wood types deliver.”
The complete Harmony Collection gift set will be available for purchase exclusively from Reserve Bar in a limited, one-time release, according to the company.
