Description
Harmony Vibrant Oak is the fourth edition in The Macallan’s Harmony Collection, created in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil in celebration of The Macallan’s bicentenary. This limited‑edition single malt is matured in a carefully curated blend of first‑fill American oak (sherry‑seasoned) and refill sherry oak casks, designed to showcase the influence of oak on flavor and expression. The packaging itself is part of the oak story: labels and presentation boxes incorporate oak chippings, a byproduct of cask making, reinforcing the whisky’s connection to nature and wood.

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Autumnal leaf: warm golden hue, natural color

Aroma
Intense vanilla bean rises first, followed by sweet sherbet and zesty lime peel. Fragrant pears nestle within a cushion of vanilla sponge cake, offering a lush, bright signature character.

Palate
Silky and layered: creamy vanilla panna cotta leads, with buttery shortbread, toasted coconut, almond brittle, fresh apple, and a heart of sweet oak weaving through.

Finish
Medium in length, sweet and comforting. Vanilla lingers, with a graceful echo of oak spice and soft fruit.

Region (Speyside Character)
From the heart of Speyside, this whisky retains the elegance, fruitiness, and smoothness typical of the region, but is boldly lifted by oak expression—especially American oak influence. It balances The Macallan’s classic style with an oak‑forward vibrancy.
