The Macallan Art is the Flower

The Macallan Art is the Flower celebrates the uniqueness of natural beauty and the circularity of life and nature. With this exclusive expression of The Macallan single malt whisky we pay tribute to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, inspired by his art and poetic prose.

The Macallan Art is the Flower has been respectfully crafted to celebrate the circularity of nature captured in Mackintosh’s 1902 stained-glass panel ‘The Spirit of the Rose’.

Inspired by Mackintosh’s exceptional depiction of nature in architecture, art and design, The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team’s exemplary art of whisky making is expressed in The Macallan Art is the Flower single malt scotch whisky.

This single malt, matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks, recognising Mackintosh’s time in Europe, presents a beautiful, deeply coloured whisky with flavour characteristics that have been allowed to develop naturally over time.

Art is the Flower, with aroma and tasting notes of fruits that bear their own blossoms, is a delicate nod to the beautiful words from Mackintosh’s lecture on Seemliness.

The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team expresses their art in this exceptional deep oak single malt matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks with notes of raisin and fig, polished oak, cherry, almonds, orange and treacle.

A palate of sweet oak, vanilla, ginger, apple and a wisp of tea leaf with a finish that is long, sweet, rich and full.
