Introducing The Macallan M Collection:
A Prism into the World of the World of the MACALLAN!
The Macallan has unveiled The Macallan M Collection, a range of limited-release single malt whiskies which celebrates the brand’s acclaimed Six Pillars. The Six Pillars are the foundation stones that account for The Macallan’s distinctive and exceptional whiskies and comprise Natural Color, Mastery, Curiously Small Spirit Stills, The Estate, Exceptional Oak Casks, and Sherry Seasoning.
The first three expressions of the series are the 2022 editions of the previously released M and M Black and the brand-new M Copper.
Each whisky features an array of colors embodying these unique attributes and reflecting the emotions that drive the brand.
The Macallan collaborated with renowned creative director, Fabien Baron and French crystal maker Lalique to create beautifully crafted decanters, which visually represent the Six Pillars and house the liquid. The decanters are encased in exquisite outer packaging also denoting the Six Pillars and sustainably sourced in Scotland.
The limited series bottles will begin roll-outs in both domestic and travel retail markets including The Macallan Estate, The Macallan Airport Boutiques, select luxury hotels, bars, and premium retailers.

The Macallan M 2022 Release
M embodies Natural Color, a result of The Macallan’s commitment to craftsmanship and its dedication to using the finest, 100% natural ingredients and exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks. A rare spirit epitomizing the idea of transparency, the whisky glistens in a handcrafted Lalique crystal decanter.

Matured in a small number of hand-selected casks, M proudly showcases The Macallan’s rich natural color, while the transparent decanter reflects honesty as there is no artificial coloring. With a rich amber hue, M reveals the distillery’s classic sherry seasoned, full-flavored character imparting notes of chocolate, rich dried fruit, and spice.

The Macallan M Black 2022 Release
M Black represents The Macallan’s dedication to Mastery and unwavering trust in its craft. 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 and the handcrafted Lalique black crystal decanter reflects the peat smoke within the whisky and the confidence which drives The Macallan as the whisky makers boldly marry classic Macallan notes with peated whisky. A subtly smoky expression, it displays a rich natural color 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 savor.

The Macallan M Copper 2022 Release
M Copper is an ode to the Curiously Small Spirit Stills that remain key to crafting The Macallan’s precious spirit to this day. One of the defining features of the distillation process, they represent a pivotal moment in whisky-making history as when most moved to larger, higher production copper stills, The Macallan focused on exceptional quality. Their distinctive shape and size help to concentrate the new make spirit, creating the rich, robust character

With a natural color of spun gold, M Copper is a vibrant and elegant expression that brings the flavors created in the stills to the fore. It has a buttery, viscous mouth coating and is bursting in fruitiness with a hint of sweet malty flavor. A handcrafted Lalique copper-colored crystal decanter represents the stills and reflects the authenticity which drives the brand through its dedication to innovative methods.
Visually representing the Six Pillars, the decanters are beautiful masterpieces created in collaboration with renowned creative director, Fabien Baron and French crystal maker Lalique. Envisioned by Baron, they feature six facets while Lalique has drawn on over 130 years of mastery to bring refinement and flawless clarity. The decanters are encased in exquisite outer packaging also denoting the Six Pillars and sustainably sourced in Scotland.

Silvio Denz, Chairman and CEO of Lalique, said:
“It is an honor to work with The Macallan – our long-standing partner for 16 years – to realize this exquisite collection and showcase our shared sense of mastery, craftsmanship and heritage. The decanters are completely unique in the world of decanters, very difficult to produce because of their shape and Lalique’s masters of crystal have relished applying their most complex skills to bring Fabien Baron’s creative vision to life.”
The Macallan has also worked with renowned luxury fashion photographer and creative visionary Nick Knight, to create a series of photography and film in his abstract and expressionistic style.
