The Macallan Color Collection

The Macallan Color Collection is a brand new range of whiskeys from the iconic Speyside distillery and will be available in Global Travel Retail worldwide from September. It consists of five different bottlings that cover an age range from 12 to 30 years and therefore have something for every taste. After a long period without age statements, Macallan is finally coming back to making clear statements about the age of the whiskeys with this collection.


Most notably, The Macallan Color Collection emphasizes the natural tones of aging in sherry casks. The color spectrum of the respective whiskey is also made clear on the cap. This contributes to the high aesthetics and consistency that Macallan is known for.


Most of the whiskeys in this collection have been aged in American oak casks with a small percentage in European oak casks to complete the aging process. The use of sherry casks, which are known to provide their distinctive flavor, gives these whiskeys a unique and complex note that is highly appreciated by connoisseurs.
