A Prism into the World of The Macallan

The Macallan M and M Black hold a place of distinction within The Macallan range, celebrating our foundational Six Pillars and embodying the mastery, creativity and character that defines The Macallan’s extraordinary single malt whisky. Joining them to form The Macallan M Collection, M Copper pays tribute to the unique copper stills used by The Macallan since its founding in 1824.

These Six Pillars comprise Natural Colour, Mastery, Curiously Small Stills, The Estate, Exceptional Oak Casks and Sherry Wine.

M Black represents our dedication to Mastery and unwavering trust and confidence in our  craft. This release marries hints of peat to the unmistakable, signature Macallan character. Rare, black ended casks holding peated spirit have been meticulously selected by the Whisky Mastery Team who have continued to push the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship to create this unique expression. 

The spirit matured in the sherry seasoned oak casks has gathered depth and distinction over time. The handcrafted Lalique black crystal decanter reflects the peat smoke within the whisky and the confidence which drives us as the Whisky Makers boldly marry classic Macallan notes with peated whisky.

Black Lalique crystal, one of the most complex materials in the glass blower's repertoire, has been used to house the precious spirit - requiring far greater skill and time to produce. A subtly smoky expression, it displays a rich natural colour of golden sunrise and is a harmonious balance of The Macallan’s classic character with an unexpected peated note, resulting in a complex single malt to savour. 

The M Collection is a testament to the custodians who have guarded and treasured the exceptional oak casks and their precious contents for generations. This is reflected in the whisky decanters, designed by Fabien Baron, whose vision combines aesthetic expression with commercial art in its finest form. Housed in hand blown  crystal glass decanters, Legendary French house Lalique has been leading French glass making since 1888 and is a master in the art of glass making.

There could be no better expression of single malt and contemporary crystal glassware to complement one another. Distinction deserves celebration, and these remarkable single malts hold a special place, both in their unique whisky, and the breathtaking decanters that contain them.
