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.

突破設計極限
M Collection 是麥卡倫守護者的見證，他們世代呵護與珍愛那些非凡的橡木桶及其中珍貴的威士忌。 由 Fabien Baron 設計的由而威士忌酒瓶適切地反映出這一點，他夠過獨到的眼光，以完美的形式成功結合美學與商業藝術。 盛裝威士忌的手吹水晶玻璃瓶來自法國傳奇品牌萊儷水晶。自 1888 年創立以來，萊儷始終是法國玻璃領導者，玻璃製造工藝巧奪天工。
單一麥芽威士忌與水晶工藝最相得益彰的組合莫過於此了。 傑出是值得彰顯的，而這些卓越的單一麥芽酒款，無論風格獨具的威士忌，還是盛裝的絕美酒瓶，都值得為它們留一個特殊的位置。
