The Macallan M y M Black ocupan un lugar de distinción dentro de la gama The Macallan, celebrando nuestros Seis Pilares fundacionales y encarnando la maestría, la creatividad y el carácter que definen el extraordinario whisky de malta única de The Macallan. Uniéndose a ellos para formar la Colección M de The Macallan, M Copper rinde homenaje a los exclusivos alambiques de cobre utilizados por The Macallan desde su fundación en 1824.
Estos seis pilares comprenden el color natural, la maestría, los alambiques curiosamente pequeños, la finca, las barricas de roble excepcionales y el condimento de jerez.
THE MACALLAN M COPPER, 2022 RELEASE
With a natural colour of spun gold, M Copper is a vibrant and elegant expression. This release pays tribute and is a reflection of the Curiously Small Stills that remain essential to the crafting of our precious spirit to this day. Not only a defining feature of the distillation process, they also represent a pivotal moment in whisky-making history - as when most distilleries moved to larger, higher production copper stills, The Macallan focused on exceptional quality by continuing to use the small stills that create our unique spirit. Their distinctive shape and size help to concentrate the new make spirit, creating its rich, robust character.
M Copper has a buttery, viscous mouth coating with a fruity character and a hint of sweet malty flavour. A handcrafted Lalique copper coloured crystal decanter represents the stills and reflects our dedication to innovation while holding to our time honoured processes.
THE MACALLAN M BLACK 2022 RELEASE
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 Macallan me invitó a colaborar en la creación de un mundo visual para su icónica Colección M de whiskies de malta. Me entusiasmó trabajar con una empresa que claramente quería darme libertad creativa y adoptar el estilo abstracto y expresionista que elegí para este proyecto.

SUPERAR LOS LÍMITES DEL DISEÑO
La Colección M es un testamento a los custodios que han guardado y atesorado las excepcionales barricas de roble y su precioso contenido durante generaciones. Esto se refleja en los decantadores de whisky, diseñados por Fabien Baron, cuya visión combina la expresión estética con el arte comercial en su máxima expresión. Presentado en decantadores de cristal soplado a mano, la legendaria casa francesa Lalique es líder en la fabricación de vidrio francés desde 1888 y es un maestro en el arte de la fabricación de vidrio.
No podría haber mejor expresión de malta única y cristalería contemporánea para complementarse. La distinción merece ser celebrada, y estos extraordinarios whiskies de malta ocupan un lugar especial, tanto por su singularidad como por los impresionantes decantadores que los contienen
