The Macallan 'Horizon' Bentley Motors Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Speyside - Highlands, Scotland (700ml)

DISTILLER'S NOTES:

The Macallan Horizon is the first product born from our partnership with Bentley Motors, demonstrating an unparalleled approach to product innovation and design – an extraordinary journey into the future.

The Macallan Horizon is an expertly crafted single malt whisky, presented in a visionary horizontal vessel, encapsulating the rich heritage of both The Macallan and Bentley Motors and our shared vision for the future. A fusion of traditional craftsmanship and cutting edge technology, the vessel’s twist motif symbolises our extraordinary journey as we travel to the future.

The Macallan Horizon has been our most ambitious product design yet; something that could be born only as the result of our collaboration with Bentley Motors.

The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell sought to capture the essence of a Bentley motorcar through the creation of a sophisticated and bold single malt whisky that embodies the rich heritage of both brands. Kirsteen painstakingly selected six first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks that exuded the right intensity of flavour, texture and natural colour to reflect the extraordinary meeting of The Macallan’s signature style with Bentley’s timeless quality and design.

The Macallan’s renowned rich and indulgent dried fruit and spice flavour notes are beautifully balanced with oak and leather, aromas abundant in Bentley’s world. The whisky’s rich and long-lasting finish mirrors their timeless quality and design.

ABV: 46.6%, a nod to both the six casks and The Macallan’s Six Pillars

Colour: Dark mahogany

Nose: Resinous polished oak with plums and dark cherries, alongside aromatic fresh leather and a herbal, leafy note. An abundance of dried fruits follow – sticky dates, raisins and sultanas leading on to sweet cinnamon, nutmeg with a hint of cloves.

Palate/Taste: Wonderfully rich and indulgent. Dark treacle notes with cinder toffee, crystalised ginger and charred pineapple. Sweet vanilla pods and fudge develop, followed by dark chocolate coated brazil nuts and a warming oak spice.

Finish: Rich oak, long, complex.”
