The Macallan Concept No. 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL

The Macallan Concept No. 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the second release in The Macallan Concept Series, a limited collection celebrating creativity and innovation beyond traditional whisky making. Introduced in 2019 for Global Travel Retail, Concept No. 2 explores the connection between music and whisky, inspired by Whisky Maker Steven Bremner’s passion for both crafts. The expression brings together whisky matured in sherry-seasoned American oak, Miguel Martin sherry-seasoned European oak, and ex-bourbon casks, creating a layered and expressive single malt. It is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).

The nose opens with vanilla, citrus, apple, pear, toffee, and subtle spice. On the palate, creamy vanilla and caramel are joined by fresh fruit, cinnamon, oak, and gentle sherry sweetness. The finish is smooth and lingering, with notes of sweet spice, vanilla, fruit, and warming oak.
