Colour Collection 21 Years Old
The Colour Collection 21 Years Old showcases whisky that has been aged in American oak casks, beautifully enhanced by a delicate addition of European oak.
The Collection is a celebration of The Macallan's commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning.
The oak casks used for The Macallan Colour Collection 21 Years Old are seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
With flavours of tropical fruits, coffee, hazelnuts and dark chocolate orange, the whisky is a natural, warm bronze colour - the outcome of our new make spirit and exceptional oak casks working harmoniously together over the years.
A travel exclusive, the Colour Collection will be available in The Macallan Global Boutiques, in key airports and selected duty free locations around the world from September 2023.
THE COLOURS OF JEREZ
Artist and Graphic Designer David Carson has brought the influence of the cask to the fore through an array of rich brown tones that evoke the wood and its toasted, caramel flavours, with a hint of spice.
In this organic yet balanced composition, colours, pattern and textures juxtapose each other, creating a sense of the whisky’s complex yet balanced profile.
Amongst the splashes of colour, we can pick out chocolate browns, orange and reddish brown hues that reflect the whisky’s tasting notes of warm spice, vanilla pods and chocolate orange, and a bright yellow reminiscent of the notes of cardamom and candied ginger it leaves on the palate.

NATURAL COLOUR
The natural warm bronze colour of The Macallan Colour Collection 21 Years Old speaks of a deep interaction between the whisky and its Sherry Seasoned oak cask. The light oak finish of the presentation box for the Colour Collection 21 Years Old was carefully chosen to complement the warm bronze tone of the whisky within.
Nestled along the expansive Atlantic Ocean, Jerez is a captivating land renowned for its sultry summers, resilient vineyards, and exquisite wines. It is within this enchanting place that The Macallan expertly seasons their oak casks with the finest sherry, a crucial component in crafting exceptional single malt whisky that boasts a deeply lustrous Natural Colour.
