Malted barley — classic foundation for Macallan’s rich, sherried style.

Food Pairing:
Enjoy neat or with a single cube of ice; pairs beautifully with rich desserts like spiced fruitcake, dark chocolate, or glazed nuts, enhancing its dried fruit and oak complexity.

50.4% — a robust strength that showcases depth and complexity.
Trivia / Story:
Art Is The Flower celebrates the synergy between whisky making and artistic expression, inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s 1902 stained-glass panel “The Spirit of the Rose” and his lecture that begins with “Art is the flower.” The expression honours nature’s beauty and the circularity of life, reflected both in the whisky’s rich character and its elegant presentation
