The Macallan M Black
The Macallan M Black
THE DARK SIDE OF CRYSTAL
M Black evolves the highly expressive aesthetic of Fabien Baron’s creative vision that makes its statement in M, in black crystal form. An evolution of the iconic M Decanter, this new step into the lustrous black crystal from Lalique was crafted to reflect the diverse history of The Macallan single malt – a striking complement to a subtly smoky Macallan, The Macallan M Black is the latest and most complex release in the range. Designed specifically to celebrate a deep and smoky Macallan than its founding relation, the crystal that houses this precious spirit was also pushed into new territories. Requiring detailed research, prototyping, and experimentation, the development of the M Black decanter was an adventure in the crystal that produced an end product as unique as the whisky itself.
With exacting processes, long-perfected techniques, and a perfect balance of innovation and heritage, M Black celebrates the union of the mastery of crystal and whisky making inside and out. Unexpected color and geometric form challenge all perceptions of traditional decanter design and perfectly offsets the peaty notes of this unique and complex single malt.

NOSE
Rich vanilla cream sweetness with light wisps of smoke and earthy dark chocolate sweetness.

PALATE
Initially a rich combination of dried fruit and citrus and slowly this rolls into a rich peat smoke. It is a wonderful contrast, it is almost as if the whisky comes in two parts allowing insight into the flavor before being enveloped in sweet peat notes. The light elements of smoked dried fruits and an almondy nuttiness makes it feel almost chewy.

FINISH
Long sweet dried fruit with a lengthy sweet peat flavor.
