THE MACALLAN UNVEILS TWO NEW LUXURY ADDITIONS TO ITS 1824 MASTERS SERIES

The Macallan has today unveiled two new non-age statement expressions as part of its 1824 Masters Series; Reflexion (43% ABV) and No.6 (43% ABV).

The two new decanters are luxury extensions to The Macallan’s 1824 series, which will be sandwiched in the range between its Gold, Amber, Sienna and Ruby bottlings and the M, the halo of the entire series and the world’s most valuable single malt whisky.

The Macallan’s Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno, expertly crafted the whiskies to showcase the signature style of The Macallan and honour the beautiful spectrum of natural colour unique to this exceptional single malt.

Taking inspiration from The Macallan’s iconic triangle and the desire to showcase the whiskies stunning natural colours, the exquisite style and design of each decanter beautifully showcases the peerless spirit which defines The Macallan. 

Commenting on the two new releases, Ken Grier, Director of Malts at Edrington, said: “The new 1824 Masters Series represents an extremely exciting development for The Macallan.  The stunning designs and overall imprint of this new collection are not only worthy of some of our most complex and precious single malt whiskies, they celebrate the very foundations that make The Macallan so special – our glorious range of natural colour and the outstanding quality of our casks .”

The Macallan Reflexion, is a reflection of the foremost influence of first fill sherry seasoned oak casks, drawing its colour and flavour from maturation in hogshead casks.  These are smaller casks which allow for greater surface area of wood to interact with the spirit to deliver an intricate character driven by the influence of both Spanish and American oak casks. 

The Macallan No.6, brings together the art of The Macallan Master Whisky Maker with the exquisite craftsmanship of Lalique resulting in a piece of timeless elegance.  Exclusively designed and crafted for The Macallan, this flawless crystal decanter pays homage to the single malt’s heritage through its use of triangular facets representing the Six Pillars, incorporating the iconic triangular feature as a key element of its creation.

The Macallan Reflexion and No.6 will be available from selected specialist retailers, for respective RRP’s of £900 and £2,800.
