The Macallan The Colour Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
In stock
The Colour Collection 12 Years Old is a testament to The Macallan’s dedication to natural colour and sherry seasoning. This single malt whisky has been matured in American oak casks, subtly enhanced by the inclusion of European oak, creating a harmonious and refined character.
Its aesthetic draws inspiration from the pale, chalky landscapes of Jerez de la Frontera, featuring tones of lemon yellow, soft white, “albero” and “teja”, accompanied by a branch from a sherry grape vine.
Renowned artist and graphic designer David Carson collaborated with The Macallan for The Colour Collection, using the region’s distinctive albariza soil as a creative medium—applying it to paper as if it were paint. Alongside the 12 Years Old expression stands Easter Elchies House, a symbol of The Macallan’s spiritual home in Speyside, Scotland.
