The fourth release in the Harmony Collection has been created in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil to tell our oak story in an imaginative, visual and innovative way.

The whisky, a travel exclusive created by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team, is matured in a combination of first fill sherry seasonedEuropean oak casks and refill sherry casks.

These have been carefully selected to deliver the classic European oak flavours of dried fruits and sweet spices, naturally derived from the cask during maturation, with a long and rich oak finish.

Two brands dedicated to constant innovation, this collaboration is inspired by a shared respect for creativity and reverence for the natural world.

For this release, we focus on our own area of expertise and mastery which is represented by oak. Oak runs through every facet of The Macallan and our exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks are the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, distinctive aromas and flavours of our whisky.

The Macallan continuously draws inspiration from nature. The Harmony Collection, Guardian Oak is a reminder of the importance of both the connection with our natural environment and of preserving it.
