Late 2023 saw the launch of the third release in Macallan's Harmony Collection. Created in collaboration with Paul McCartney's daughters, Stella and Mary McCartney, it's a celebration of the lush, fertile lands of Scotland that connect all those who have stood upon them for generations. The presentation box features photography by Mary McCartney of The Macallan Estate and the team at Macallan has reciprocated, taking inspiration from the Scottish grasslands to create an expression redolent of warm meadows and mature barley fields, with a rich, citrus-scented finish derived from a combination of both sherry seasoned oak and bourbon casks. Also notable in this release is the re-use of natural materials in the packaging, creating beauty from resources at the end of their natural lives. In this case, discarded meadow cuttings have been given new life in the presentation box and bottle labels. 44.2% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Ex-bourbon and sherry-seasoned oak. By rule, when there's no age statement, and yet a hefty price (220€), there is a story, in this case a collaboration with sisters Stella and Mary McCartney. Colour: gold. Nose: yet again this slightly rubbery leafiness, we're actually extremely close to the Triple Cask, just with a little more oomph. Fruit peel, orange zests, some flowers again (honeysuckle), then ripe bananas and a little light rum. Mouth: indeed you would almost believe they used the same juice as that of the Triple Oak. Some oak spices, green teas, bitter almonds, a few raisins, allspice, indeed a little rubber, cinnamon rolls… Finish: medium long, on teas and little demerara sugar, while the aftertaste remains rather leafy. More green tea and a little clove, typical active oak seasoned with young sherry. Comments: long live all the McCartneys – isn't Sir Paul NAS too? 85 points - whiskyfun.com
