Mastering the Art of Whisky

A Rare Peated Single Malt

Unlike most Macallan expressions, M Black introduces a rare peat note, used by the Whisky Mastery Team to push the boundaries of what a Macallan whisky can be. This smoky, brooding character is balanced with the refinement expected from the brand. Each sip tells the story of the craft that spans decades, making it a whisky that lingers in both memory and palate.

A Home in Lalique Crystal

This rare spirit is housed in an equally rare decanter—black Lalique crystal, a material much more challenging to create than clear crystal. Each decanter is individually numbered, with six elegant facets representing The Macallan’s Six Pillars, the foundation of the brand’s identity. Designed by Fabien Baron, the decanter is a symbol of contemporary and classical art merging into one reverential triumph.
