The sixth and concluding release in The Macallan Harmony Collection, Inspired by Fresh Coconut is a single malt of real character and considerable skill. The Whisky Mastery Team set out to bring tropical coconut, zesty lime and tropical fruit notes to the fore, without the confines of age – and the result is a rare and playful expression that closes the Harmony series in style.
Matured exclusively in first-fill American oak (Quercus Alba), including casks that previously held bourbon alongside sherry-seasoned American oak, this whisky draws out the naturally inherent coconut lactones in the wood. The bourbon casks finesse the profile, allowing the coconut note to shine through without overwhelming what remains a definitive Macallan single malt. Bottled at 46.3% ABV – the .3 a playful nod to the coconut's three germination "eyes".
