The Colour Collection celebrates The Macallan’s sherry journey, from the vineyards of Jerez to the exceptional oak casks where the whisky matures. Each expression draws its spectrum of natural colour and flavour from the interaction with sherry-seasoned oak, highlighting the craft and heritage behind every bottle.
At 12 years old, the youngest in the Collection, this expression shows a golden oak hue. On the nose and palate, it offers sweet oak, bright lemon, and soft vanilla, delivering a delicate yet satisfying Speyside experience.
Part of a reimagined series, the Colour Collection will be available at key travel locations from early 2026, bringing The Macallan’s signature sherry-cask style to whisky lovers around the world.
