A Unique Collaboration of Flavors and Memories: The Macallan Harmony Collection

When it comes to whisky, The Macallan Harmony Collection is known for its exquisite flavors and impeccable pairing options. In the past, they have explored the realms of chocolate and coffee, creating memorable releases that have delighted whisky enthusiasts worldwide. But for their latest edition, The Macallan has taken a remarkably different approach, collaborating with Stella and Mary McCartney to weave together the essence of Scotland through senses and visuals.

The Macallan Harmony Collection’s third edition introduces two distinct whiskies: Amber Meadow and Green Meadow. Both whiskies have been matured in a combination of sherry casks and bourbon barrels, creating a symphony of flavors that evoke the richness of Scotland. What sets this edition apart is not just the remarkable whiskies themselves, but the packaging that accompanies them. Mary McCartney, in her unique style, has captured the essence of The Macallan Estate through her photographs, which adorn the packaging. The labels and boxes have been carefully crafted from cuttings from the meadows surrounding the distillery, along with other natural materials.

Steven Bremner, the whisky maker behind these single malts, describes the experience of savoring these whiskies: “The 100 percent natural summer evening color derived from our exceptional sherry seasoned oak and bourbon casks reflects the richness of the flavor which awaits. On the nose, fresh citrus fruits and honeysuckle are complemented by hints of vanilla, coconut, and ripe barley fields. On tasting, notes of oak, lemon, melon are prominent, accompanied by flavors of classic scone and almond with green tea, before giving way to a rich and sweet long finish.”

However, the collaboration between The Macallan and the McCartney sisters doesn’t end with whisky alone. They have expanded their creative partnership to create a collection called “TOGETHER: A Collection for The Macallan.” This collection features 11 lifestyle pieces designed by Stella and Mary McCartney. From glass tumblers and ceramic flasks to brass napkin weights and framed photographs of The Macallan Estate, each piece embodies the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.

Stella McCartney shares her vision for the collection: “We all—The Macallan, Mary, and I—wanted to create a collection that celebrated the highest quality materials and incredible craftsmanship that would be fitting of the shared values between us all. We envisaged pieces that were limited, yet would work together as a family. The idea was to have it live in your home, stand out, and of course be of the highest quality.”

The TOGETHER Collection is now available globally, but whisky enthusiasts in the United States will have to wait until December to get their hands on it. However, the Green Meadow whisky (SRP $185) from the Harmony Collection is currently available for purchase at The Macallan Airport Boutiques in various countries.

In the meantime, you can explore the past releases of the Harmony Collection, which are available for purchase on websites like Wine.com. For the complete Macallan lineup, ReserveBar offers a curated selection for your enjoyment.

The Macallan Harmony Collection’s unique collaboration with Stella and Mary McCartney is a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation. Through the marriage of flavors and the artistry of design, they have created a truly remarkable collection that celebrates the spirit of Scotland and the pleasure of indulging in a fine whisky.
