Macallan Intense Arabica Harmony Collection II European & American Sherry-Seasoned Oak Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2022) 70cl

The Macallan distillery is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Craigellachie, Moray. The Macallan Distillers Ltd, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Edrington Group which purchased the brand from Highland Distillers in 1999.

The second release in the limited annual Harmony series, Intense Arabica is a special single malt inspired by the Ethiopian Arabica coffee bean. Following on from Harmony I (Rich Cacao and Fine Cacao), the next step in the sensorial journey moves from chocolate to coffee. It was created by The Macallan's Whisky Maker, and exudes the robust complex flavours of dark espresso, raisin and cocoa.

The Macallan Harmony Collection is an annual release that explores the world of sustainable packaging, fusing innovative techniques with materials from the natural world at the end of their life to see them reborn with a renewed purpose.

In the Inspired by Intense Arabica expression, on the nose there are characteristics like tiramisu, cappuccino, gingerbread, raisins, almonds, sweet oak and vanilla. On the palate, it will turn into espresso, dark chocolate and raisin, with the tiramisu note coming back again, some blackberry, vanilla, Brazil nut and into sweet oak, while the finish imparts a long, dark roast coffee style, but is balanced and sweet.
