The Macallan M and M Black
A Darkness Mastered from
Centuries of Enlightenment
The Macallan M and M Black embody a darkness that is rare amongst our single malts.
The pursuit of mastery and excellence necessitates the continual pushing of boundaries, challenging conventional and accepted norms. The Macallan M and M Black encapsulate this vision, bringing together three masters of their craft in one striking collaboration: The Macallan, renowned creative director Fabien Baron and masters of crystal, Lalique.
The Macallan M and The Macallan M Black 2020 are a true celebration of craftsmanship. A triumph of supreme spirit, exquisite crystal, and breath-taking design.

The Macallan M
Darkness into the Light
The Macallan M reflects our dedication to mastery and craftsmanship. With its rich amber colour, this release is beautifully balanced on the nose with aromas of date, fig and ginger nutmeg leading into a medley of sticky date, baked apple, orange oil and dark chocolate on the palate. Vanilla fudge and a rich oak flavour come through fleetingly before warming wood spices open up to a long lasting ginger and raisin finish.
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.
The Macallan M Black
Dark into the Darkness
From rare, black-ended casks, The Macallan M Black 2020 is revealed. On The Macallan Estate rare black-ended casks patiently mature; these casks have given M Black a peated note unique to The Macallan.
An exception to the rule, The Macallan M Black 2020 release marries hints of peat to the unmistakable, signature Macallan character. In its honour, its enigmatic new home is hand crafted from black Lalique crystal, one of the most complex materials in the glass blower’s repertoire, requiring far greater skill and time to produce.
This remarkable, limited release is presented in an exclusive decanter, fashioned in black crystal. Utterly unique, this is peated perfection in almost unrepeatable seductive form.

Pushing the Limits of Design
This is reflected in the whisky decanters, designed by Fabien Baron, whose vision combines aesthetic expression with commercial art in its finest form. Hand blown in crystal glass by legendary French house Lalique, the striking decanters are individually numbered. Lalique has been leading French glass making since 1888, and is a master in the art of glass making.
Distinction deserves celebration, and these remarkable single malts hold a special place, both in their unique spirits, and the breathtaking decanters that contain them.
