Macallan M Black 2020 Release is a true celebration of master craftsmanship. A triumph of supreme spirit, exquisite crystal, and breath-taking design. Macallan M Black has a flagship distinction within The Macallan range. It celebrates mastery, creativity and character that defines The Macallan's pursuit of extraordinary single malt whisky. The bottle is hand crafted from black Lalique crystal. The Macallan M Black brings together three masters of their craft in one amazing collaboration: The Macallan distillers, renowned creative director, Fabien Baron and the masters of crystal, Lalique.
The Decanter:
Black crystal is one of the most challenging materials in the glass blower's repertoire. It requires significantly more time and resources to produce than clear crystal. The decanters are individually numbered. They have a slim, elegant and flawless profile. The six facets of the bottle are an inspirational acknowledgement of The Macallan's defining six pillars. The decanter was one of the most challenging Lalique have produced, but ultimately they triumphed in realising Fabien Baron's vision. It's contemporary yet classical.
Colour: Golden sunrise
Nose: Filled with dark chocolate and cherry, swirling into vanilla and peat. Touches of delicate wood spices, with hints of dried fruit and sticky treacle.
Palate: Warming wood spices and peat mingle with black forest fruits. These evolve into vanilla, dark chocolate, ginger and fig. Ginger notes persist as the combination of orange oil and peat gently vibrates in waves.
Finish: Long, lingering with waves of peat smoke and a raisin sweetness.
The Macallan M Black is absolutely unique. This precious, peat infused single malt, the Lalique finesse and vision-led creativity, are married seamlessly in this mastery of craftmanship. A remarkable release that's one of a kind and one to truly cherish.
