Macallan – Harmony Collection Rich Cacao (70cl, 44%)

Macallan – Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is a whisky from Macallan (Speyside). Bottled at 44% ABV, 70cl. The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow ‘cut’ of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors. A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports. The Harmony Collection: Rich Cacao Introduced in 2021, The Harmony Collection from Macallan is an exploration into the world of sustainable packaging, in an effort coexist harmoniously with the environment. We’ll assume that some importance was placed upon the whisky as well, as this first edition represents yet another collaboration with chef Jordi Roca, of El Cellar De Can Roca. Whisky Maker Polly Logan had the job of traveling to the restaurant and experiencing the chocolate making process that has inspired the Rich Cacao release. Nice work if you can get it. Please be aware, due to their design, the bottle support for Macallan Harmony boxes is easily deformed and/or detached.
