The Macallan The Harmony Collection Fresh Coconut

About the product

The Harmony Collection is The Macallan's annual limited edition series, where whisky, nature, flavor, and design meet in new interpretations. Through various releases, the series has explored specific flavor universes while focusing on innovative materials and more thoughtful packaging.

Fresh Coconut is based on one of the more exotic aromas that can be developed through The Macallan's carefully selected oak casks. Coconut is not added to the whisky – the character arises naturally through the interaction between the distillate, the oak, and the maturation.

The result is an aromatic and elegant single malt where fresh coconut and creamy vanilla meet citrus, fruit, and fine wood notes. The 46.3% alcohol strength provides extra intensity and structure, allowing the different aromas to stand out clearly without losing the soft and polished style for which The Macallan is known.

As part of The Harmony Collection, Fresh Coconut is produced in limited quantities. This makes it interesting for Macallan enthusiasts, collectors, and whisky lovers who want to experience a different side of the famous Speyside distillery.

About the distillery and the region

The Macallan was founded in 1824 and is located at the Easter Elchies Estate in Speyside, Scotland. The distillery is among the world's most recognized producers of single malt Scotch whisky and is especially famous for its uncompromising focus on the quality of the oak casks used for maturation.

Speyside is home to a large concentration of Scotland's whisky distilleries and is often associated with elegant, fruity, and complex single malts. At The Macallan, oak casks play a central role in the development of the whisky's natural color, aroma, and flavor.
