Macallan Concept No.1-3 Art, Music & David Carson 70cl
- Macallan Concept 1 Art.
The first in a series of annual releases, and one of a flurry of expressions launched by Macallan in 2018.
Inspired by the world of surrealist art, the box presents Macallan’s six pillars reimagined through a surrealist lens. - Macallan Concept 2 Music.
Released at the end of 2019 and created exclusively for global travel retail, this is the second of three whiskies that will complete the Concept Series. The second release celebrates Music.
The idea for the Music bottle came from Macallan Whisky Maker Steve Bremner who by day blends whisky and by night mixes music as a DJ.
The whisky itself has been matured in Sherry-seasoned casks, and then ex-Bourbon barrels. - Macallan Concept Number 3 / David Carson
The third and final release in the Concept Series. Released in mid-2021,
Concept Number 3 is a collaboration between the Speyside giant and revolutionary contemporary graphic designer David Carson.
The bottle was made available at Global Travel Retail outlets and The Macallan Airport Boutiques.
Macallan Concept No.2 2019 Music (70cl, 40%)
Macallan Concept No. 2 is a no-age-statement single malt from the Speyside distillery matured in Sherry-seasoned American oak casks.
Whisky maker Steven Bremner used his passions for blending malts and mixing house music as his inspiration for the release.
He said: ‘Music has inspired many aspects of my life, both creatively and practically, as has whisky, so the creation of Concept Number 2 allowed me to look at my two passions through a different lens.
‘Creating a track and crafting a single malt can take a similar path. Beginning with the layering of sounds just like the layering of different flavours from specific cask types.
‘Each different cask brings its own influence to the character of the liquid, like each instrument, or sound, adds depth to a track. In both cases, we can alter each different element to play up or down particular sounds or flavours.’

Macallan Edition No.2 (70cl, 48.2%)
The second release from the Macallan Edition series is a collaboration between Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno and the three brothers behind El Celler de Can Roca (named Best Restaurant in the World twice by Restaurant magazine). This single malt was drawn from a combination of European and American oak casks.
Macallan Edition No.3 (70cl, 48.3%)
The third release in The Macallan’s wood-focused Edition series saw master perfumer Roja Dove and master whisky maker Bob Dalgarno create a whisky using their very particular sets of skills. Dove pinned down the flavour profile for Edition No. 3 by using the same formula he would for a perfume: pinpointing complementary aromas, and balancing these with a “counterpoint” note. The resulting liquid is a combination of six American and European oak casks, with deliciously sweet, floral notes up front.
This is a collaboration between Bob Dalgarno and Master Perfumer, Roja Dove.
The liquid has been matured in the following types of cask:
- 1st fill Hudosa Butt
- 2nd fill Butt
- 1st fill American Tevasa butts and puncheons.
- 1st fill European Tevasa hogsheads.
- 1st fill Bourbon hogsheads and barrels.
Macallan Edition No.4 (70cl, 48.4%)

While the previous three editions had attempted to demonstrate the influence each cask has on taste and aroma, master distiller Nick Savage developed Edition No. 4 to reveal the ‘structure of the whisky’. The inspiration was the construction of the stylish £140m distillery.

Macallan Edition No.6 (70cl, 48.6%)
The sixth and final release in the The Macallan Edition series, Edition No. 6 takes its inspiration from the natural wonders of the legendary River Spey and The Macallan Estate, where each and every cask of The Macallan is matured before being hand-selected for use by our expert whisky makers.
All of the five distinct casks types used to create Edition No. 6 have been hand-picked by The Macallan Whisky Maker Steven Bremner. He drew inspiration from unique stories related to the river and surrounding landscape. The American and European oak casks have been selected to create a flavour profile that will deliver a multifaceted experience; from the appealing rich brass natural colour, to the layers of aroma, followed by the deep and rewarding flavour.
The legendary River Spey flows through the Estate and is globally renowned as a home to the mighty Atlantic salmon. The Macallan Ghillie is a custodian of the River Spey and advocate for sustaining the wildlife in and around it. On our one-and-three-quarter mile stretch of river, a fortunate few can test their skills in the hope of catching – and releasing – wild Atlantic salmon using Hardy’s incomparable tackle.
Wild Atlantic salmon are at risk of becoming an endangered species. Therefore The Macallan are working with the Atlantic Salmon Trust to help raise awareness of this, and to support vital conservation work on the River Spey and beyond.

Macallan Estate (70cl, 43%)
Released in 2019, The Macallan Estate is an intriguing expression that contains spirit distilled from barley grown on Macallan’s very own Easter Elchies estate. Hence the name. Growing on the banks of the River Spey, this barley is only distilled over the course of one week each year. It’s a pleasingly well-sherried dram, and comes handsomely presented in box which has an inlay of slate, representing the Scottish landscape that the distillery calls home.

Macallan Rare Cask (2020 Release) (70cl, 43%)
The 2020 release of Macallan Rare Cask is a smooth, sweet single malt that has been matured in a selection of sherry casks. Aromas of vanilla, raisin, fresh apple, lemon and orange fill the nose. The palate offers notes of dark chocolate-covered raisins, vanilla and light citrus that linger in the finish.
Macallan Rare Cask (2022 Release) (70cl, 43%)
The 2022 release of Macallan’s Rare Cask single malt Scotch is here. Combining single malts from a selection of casks maturing on site at The Macallan Estate, and chosen especially for their complex, raisin-rich character, this is a stunning expression of the highly anticipated annual release.
Macallan Rare Cask (2023 Release) (70cl, 43%)
The 2023 release of Macallan Rare Cask is a rich, sweet single malt with a smooth, velvety texture. Aromas of vanilla, raisins, crunchy apples, lemon and orange fill the nose, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, citrus zesty, sweet raisins, vanilla and oak throughout the palate.
The highly anticipated 2023 Rare Cask release from The Macallan is a showcase of whisky from the finest sherry-seasoned casks. The casks have been selected as they bring a particularly complex, raisin-forward character to the Highland single malt Scotch whisky.
Macallan Rare Cask Batch No.1 (2019 Release) (70cl, 43%)
This is the first batch of Macallan Rare Cask single malt released in 2019! In 2018, Macallan started to release its Rare Cask expression in batches, with four batches planned for release in 2019. Each batch is a vatting of 50 sherry butts, showing off the distillery’s history of excellent sherried expressions.
Macallan Rare Cask Batch No.2 (2019 Release) (70cl, 43%)
It’s the second wonderful batch of The Macallan Rare Cask for 2019! Just like Batch No.1, it was vatted from 50 European sherry seasoned oak butts. The whisky is presented at 43% ABV in a rather lovely decanter. Sherried Macallan is always a winner, and this expression is wonderfully complex.
Macallan Rare Cask Batch No.3 (2018 Release) (70cl, 43%)
Here we have a pretty special dram, and it’s the 2018 release and third batch in the highly sought after Rare Cask series from The Macallan. Much like its predecessor, batch three is comprised of whisky drawn from 50 European oak sherry butts. The stunning amber liquid was bottled at 43% ABV, and is presented in a very handsome decanter.
Macallan Rare Cask Black Limited Edition (70cl, 48%)
A Macallan with a surprisingly distinctive style.
Less than 100 barrels have contributed to the creation of the Macallan Rare Cask Black.
These casks remain untouched in the dark halls of the Macallan distillery under the watchful eye of the Master Whisky Maker until he feels it is time to release this whisky.
Smoky Macallan Whiskies are rare, so grab your chance and dive into the mysterious world of the Macallan Halls.
Smoky Macallan?! Yes indeed friends, such a thing exists! Macallan Rare Cask Black was made from a marriage of less than 100 casks, resulting in an expression that shows off a fascinating combination of rich peat smoke and Macallan’s characteristic Sherried power. Peaty whisky is very much a rarity from Macallan, so this is very much an exciting bottling!
Macallan Reflexion (70cl, 43%)
This exceptional single malt draws its colour and flavour from maturation in smaller hogshead casks, allowing a greater surface area of wood to interact with the whisky to deliver an intricate character influenced by both Spanish and American oak casks. The depth of colour and complex flavour of Reflexion is derived from the use of first-fill casks, carefully selected for this distinctive expression to accentuate its aromas and flavours. Bold and full bodied, Reflexion is a celebration of floral and vanilla notes, punctuated with fresh apples and apricots.

Macallan Sienna 1824 Series (70cl, 43%)
Macallan Sir Peter Blake An Estate, A Community, and A Distillery (70cl, 47.7%)
The Macallan has unveiled the Anecdotes of Ages Collection, an extraordinary art and whisky collaboration with globally renowned British pop artist, Sir Peter Blake.
The collaboration, which is The Macallan’s third with the iconic artist and is part of a relationship which has spanned more than three decades, celebrates The Macallan’s rich legacy and Sir Peter Blake’s remarkable contribution to the art world.
At the heart of the esteemed collection are 13 one-of-a-kind bottles of exceptional 1967 whisky. Classic but with a distinctly colourful character, this peerless single malt Scotch has been matured for more than 50 years and was carefully selected to represent the year that Sir Peter Blake’s signature collages transcended from art into popular culture.
Each individual bottle features its own original Sir Peter Blake collage art on the label, detailing unique stories relating to The Macallan’s history, community, and the beautiful natural landscape of The Macallan Estate.
Pioneering pop artist Sir Peter Blake is renowned for his highly distinctive collages featuring images from popular culture. His diverse style ranges from colourful lettering to likeness drawing, but he remains best known for his signature crowd work. Over many decades, his unique and timeless style has transcended fashion, music, and even art movements.
The long-held relationship between The Macallan and Sir Peter Blake is based on a mutual respect for craftsmanship as well as a strong desire to deliver truly creative and visionary work. In 1986 he collaborated with The Macallan to create a bespoke label for The Macallan 1926 taking inspiration from the events of the era. In 2012 The Macallan and Sir Peter Blake collaborated again to create a unique, limited edition art piece in celebration of his 80th birthday and decades of collaborating with The Macallan.
As part of The Macallan’s strong support for the arts, one of the extremely scarce 13 Anecdotes of Ages bottles is being auctioned to raise funds to benefit the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Support from The Macallan will advance efforts underway at the Guggenheim to increase free access and develop engagement with a variety of audiences, in alignment with the museum’s diversity, equity, access, and inclusion initiatives. The sale is being conducted by Sotheby’s in March 2021.
Sir Peter Blake said: “I am deeply inspired by the incredible legacy of The Macallan, and its emphasis on family, tradition, and the natural world.
Each collage in the Anecdotes of Ages Collection is inspired by The Macallan’s history and heritage, one that respects time and craft, two essential components of my own creative process. I meticulously worked on each collage, pulling from The Macallan Estate’s rich history to complete a collection that is a celebration of art and whisky.”
Sarah Burgess, Lead Whisky Maker at The Macallan, said: “This exceptional 1967 whisky was chosen for its classic yet distinctively colourful character, which is reminiscent of Sir Peter Blake’s work of the same year. With notes of oak and fig leading to a burst of hazelnut and strawberry, this is a truly special single malt that finishes with complex flavours of chocolate and lightly spiced peach. It is in many ways, its own work of art.”

Macallan Travel Series 1920s Decades Twenties (50cl, 40%)
The pictures are from the actual bottle frond and back, if you’d like more detailed photos just get in touch!
The Macallan Decades consists of four whiskies that were created to recreate the style of single malt produced as the distillery in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Thankfully their reference material for these was more reliable than the 19th century examples used to create their infamous Replica series.
One of four bottles released by the Macallan which depicts the style of The Macallan from the 1920’s to 1950’s. Each release has an illustration with of-the-era artwork featuring classic modes of transport from each decade.
To re-create the style of The Macallan in the 1920’s, their master distiller has sampled bottles of The Macallan from that decade and matched their aroma and flavour with more recent distillations taken from the casks maturing in their warehouses.
During the 1920’s, most of The Macallan produce was sold to whisky blenders as a “top dressing” single malt for their blended whiskies. The few remaining casks continued to mature their contents for longer, resulting in a whisky that was slightly drier and less toffee sweet than modern day Macallan.

This range was created by The Macallan’s Master Distiller to re-create the style of whisky produced at the distillery throughout the decades. Each bottle represents a different decade, from the 1920s when The Macallan was mainly used for blends, to the 1950s which saw sherry casks become available again following World War II.

Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy Bottle No.1437 (75cl, 46%)
This release celebrates the Midleton Distillery’s master distillery, Barry Crockett, a man with more than 50 years of experience in distilling, 35 of those years as the master distiller of the Midleton Distillery. This special whisky is a blend of single pot still whiskies laid down over the course of 22 years. These whiskies have mainly been aged in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, resulting in a very vanilla-rich and slightly spicy whisky with an almost perfectly balanced oak influence. It is bottled at 46% without chillfiltration.
Released in 2011, Midleton’s Barry Crockett edition was named after the distillery’s master distiller, and it is aged in both bourbon and new American oak barrels! Very interesting indeed and a limited release of around 2,500 bottles per year.
Named after Midleton master distiller Barry Crockett.
Legacy was released in 2011, exclusively matured in Oak barrels which have previously contained American Bourbon.

Midleton Very Rare 2023 (70cl, 40%)
Midleton’s annual Very Rare series began in 1984 and sees each master distiller delve into the exclusive Midleton inventory to create an exceptional example of Irish whiskey. The 2023 release was composed by master distiller Kevin O’Gorman who, after months of exploration, selected a range of pot still and single-grain Irish whiskeys matured in lightly charred bourbon casks. Keeping sustainability in mind, the case for this 2023 edition isn’t made of oak as seen in recent years, instead, it’s housed in a hard cardboard fabric-lined box, inspired by the original packaging used for the series between 1984 and 1990.

The wine shows a deep red colour, with the purple undertones very characteristic of Carmenère. The intense nose reveals aromas of black fruit, such as blackberry and blueberry, accompanied by pleasing spice notes of bell pepper and black pepper, joined by sweet notes from the French oak barrels, delivering a very complex wine.

Behold, the very final bottling in the Game of Thrones Single Malts Collection! We present to you Six Kingdoms, a beasty 15 Year Old Mortlach. Those of you who are all up to date with Game of Thrones lore (and if you aren’t, beware of spoilers ahead!) will remember that there were in fact, seven kingdoms in Westeros, but in the season finale the North became independent, taking the number down to six. The Speysider was matured in first-fill sherry casks, with a finish in American oak bourbon casks. The limited edition single malt is bottled at 46% ABV, presented in a metallic gold presentation tube, decorated with a pen and ink drawing of the mysterious three-eyed raven (aka Bran the Broken). The show may be over, but long may it live in the form of delicious whisky!

Nikka Whisky From The Barrel 3 Litre (3L, 51.4%)
Want to know how to elicit gasps and exclamations of “Wow!” from a room full of whisky lovers? Bring out a 3 litre bottle of Nikka Whisky From The Barrel. That’s right, 3 litres of this incredible, powerful blended Japanese whisky, complete with a wooden stand, a pipette to measure out 4cl of the stunning whisky and a Nikka-branded bag (not pictured). Despite holding six times more whisky than the regular bottles (six!), it still comes presented in a charming square-shaped bottle. It was released in celebration of Nikka’s 80th anniversary in 2014.
A highly recommended cask strength blend. This 3 litre bottle was released for the 80th anniversary of Nikka and includes a display stand and giant pipette for drawing whisky from the giant bottle
Oban Bay Reserve Game of Thrones Single Malts Collection Night’s Watch (70cl, 43%)
If you haven’t seen the show, essentially The Night’s Watch hold and guard the Wall, an immense ice structure which separates the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms from the lands beyond. If you’re not very familiar with Oban, it’s a whisky producer in the Highlands that sits on the edge of Scotland’s western coast that’s known for its clean and intensely fruity Scotch. In our opinion, both provide equally important services. One protects the realm from raiders and worse (no spoilers, people), while the other makes very tasty whisky for us to drink. See – equally important.

Pepesza PPSH-40 Vodka Tommy gun bottle (1L, 40%)
Pepesza Vodka PPSh-40, made by the Polish Bartex distillery, comes in a stunning packaging: the bottle is a glass replica of the Soviet submachine gun PPSh-41, that was designed by Georgi Shpagin in the early forties – PPSh is short for Pistolet-Pulemjot-Shpagina – Shpagin machine pistol.
The drink inside this unique bottle is a quality vodka, four-times distilled from fine rye with an alcohol content of 40 % Vol. ABV – thus the name PPSh-40 instead of the number 41 in the name of the weapon it was modelled after. Because of its similarity to the US submachine gun Thompson, nicknamed Tommy Gun, some shops not quite accurately label this vodka as Pepesza Vodka Tommy Gun.
Pierre Ferrand Renegade Barrel No.2 Sample (2cl, 47.1%)
The second release from Pierre Ferrand’s Renegade Barrel. This time the spirit has been in initially aged in traditional oak barrels, before being moved over to barrels made from chestnut wood!
Pierre Ferrand Renegade Barrel is a rare example of double-matured spirit from the Cognac region. Because it is aged in a combination of classic oak casks and chestnut-wood barrels, rather than just oak, this rich and softly sweet eau-de-vie de vin can’t be called ‘Cognac’.

Plantation Fiji Terravera 2004 19 Year Old Single Traditional Column Still Rum 70cl, 50.2%
Plantation Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel has made it his life’s mission to explore the terroirs of rum, from its birthplace in the Caribbean to the furthest reaches of the South Pacific. Aided by Rum Co. of Fiji’s Master Distiller, Liam Costello, Alexandre meticulously selected just 18 casks of a 2004 vintage column still rum filtered through coconut carbon. Aged in the tropics for 17 years before journeying across two oceans, this formidable Viti rum’s journey ends in the southwest of France, with four-years of maturation in Ferrand Cognac casks.
Alexandre’s choice bursts with power, structure and just a hint of smoke. Intense coffee, vanilla and fudge notes intertwine on the nose, followed by fruity and spicy tones, brightened by citrus peel and deepened by tobacco. The extra-long finish lingers with cherry, cloves and cocoa.

Plantation Guatemala & Bélize Gran Añejo Rum 70cl, 42%
A blended rum from the Plantation range, using rums from Guatemala & Bélize, two neighbouring countries in Central America. Following its initial maturation, it’s taken to France to be finished in ex-Cognac casks, resulting in very intriguing additions to its rich flavour profile
Plantation Guatemala XO Amburana Cask Finish (70cl, 50%)
An exceptionally tasty Guatemalan rum from the Plantation folks, this XO expression spent its first few tropical years ageing in bourbon casks, before in classic Plantation style it was moved to Ferrand casks to mature for a year in France. Before bottling, it spent a final six months in Amburana casks, a type of wood found in the forests of Latin America. Eventually, it was bottled at 50% ABV, choc full of tropical fruit.
Plantation Haiti 2010 (70cl, 40.2%)
Distilled from sugar cane in a pot still at Rhum Barbancourt, Plantation’s Haiti 2010 then went through quite the ageing process. Firstly, it spent five years in bourbon casks in Haiti, before being transferred to a cooler continental climate for a further two years of ageing in Ferrand casks. Finally, the rum was treated to a finish Ferrand Cognac 10 Générations casks for one year. It was bottled in 2018 in a limited release of 288 bottles at 40.15% ABV.
Plantation Haiti XO (70cl, 41%)
As with all Plantation rums, this has the usual distinctive netting wrapped around the bottles – this is great from a branding/marketing point of view. I do like that Plantation have included some information about the rum’s ageing process, although there is no info about how the rum was actually created i.e. type of still used. There are some tasting notes, although stating that the nose is “complex, earthy, rum of pure cane juice proudly showing characteristics from ancient noble farms” is not particularly insightful nor useful. The additives are not directly referenced either.
Plantation Isle of Fiji (70cl, 40%)
This colourful bottling is Plantation’s homage to the Fiji Islands. Distilled from Fijian molasses, it’s initially aged for around three years in the tropical climate in bourbon casks, before it’s sent over to France for a secondary maturation in French oak for a year. A spicy, creamy and tropical affair, and a sure fire way to taste a sense of place! An excellent sipper, and it certainly stands up to being used in all sorts of cocktails. Plus, look at that iguana on the label! What a cheerful little fellow!
Plantation Jamaica 2007 15 Year Old Clarendon MSP 70cl, 48.4%
A fruity 2007 Jamaican rum from Plantation, distilled at Clarendon distillery and initially matured in Jamaica’s tropical climate before being transported to France and undergoing a secondary maturation in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks. The palate is rich and fruity, with notes of cantaloupe melons, guava, pineapple and baking spices that linger in the finish.
Plantation Multi Island XO Sample (2cl, 40%)
The Multi Island XO is a blend of rums from West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, which Plantation now owns, and Long Pond and Clarendon Distilleries in Jamaica, both of which they partially own. This allows them more creative control over the whole process than they have with their releases from other distilleries, from the recipe (or “marque”) to the aging. This particular blend is very full bodied, with a hint of that classic Jamaican fruit and funk element, some white pepper and tobacco, and a nice crisp sweetness imparted by the finish in barrels that previously held Coteaux du Layon, a lightly sweet French white wine.
Plantation Panama 12 Year Old (70cl, 46.2%)
Here we have the third instalment in Planation’s 2018 Single Cask Collection, Panama 12 Year Old. It’s seen three separate periods of ageing, first off with nine and a half years in bourbon casks in Panama before the usual Plantation one year in Ferrand casks in France. Finally, the rum spent another one and a half years in a cask which previously held Arran single malt, before it was bottled at 46.2% ABV.
Plantation Panama 2004 (70cl, 42%)
Distilled in a four column still in 2004 at the Alcoholes Del Istmo Distillery, this rum is first aged in Panama for 11 years, lending it violet scents with structure and depth, and then raised 2 additional years in Ferrand casks in France, which lend spicy and woody notes that infuse slightly tannic undertones.
Plantation Panama 8 Years Old Single Cask Rum (70cl, 42.8%)
One of our favorite rum brands, this ridiculously easy to drink rum from Panama was selected for Cask by our spirits buyer. Having spent 6 years in Bourbon barrels, one year in cognac barrels, and a final year in a Cabreuva cask (Brazilian native wood), this rum has layer upon layer of flavor to explore. Diplomatico fans take note.
Plantation Peru 2006 (70cl, 43.1%)
A particularly pleasing bottling of Peruvian rum from Plantation! This one was distilled in 2006 and aged in tropical climate for 11 years before it was transferred to France for a further two years of ageing in Ferrand casks. Eventually, it was bottled at 43.1% ABV, complete with the classic Plantation twine-wrapped bottle.
Plantation Peru 2006 14 Year Old Single Traditional Blended Rum 70cl, 47.9%
A 2006 Peruvian rum from Plantation that was matured in a tropical climate for 11 years, before being transported to France for a further two years of aging in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks. The palate offers notes of mango, roasted walnuts, nougat, vanilla and baking spice that linger in the finish.
