Whisky (or whiskey) is produced in various guises all over the world. Japanese Whisky, Irish Whiskey and American Whiskeys (including Bourbon) are challenging Scotch Whisky, with of them many winning notable awards and accolades. Meanwhile, whiskies from countries as diverse as India, Canada, Sweden, Wales, Taiwan and England are also becoming increasingly noteworthy in both quality and abundance.
The distillation process spread to Scotland and Ireland by the 15th century via Alexandrian Greeks, Medieval Arabs and Latin Europeans. The Scots and the Irish, who already had a well-developed tradition of farming cereal crops, used the technique to distil from a variety of fermented grain mashes to produce a spirit, most closely resembling today’s new make spirits.
The process of distilling fermented grain mash and aging it in oak barrels to make Whisky (or whiskey) has spread the world and has resulted in a remarkable range of styles, including Single Malt Whisky, Blended Malt Whisky, Grain Whisky, Rye Whiskey and Blended Whisky (containing both Single Malt Whisky and Grain Whisky).

Macallan M Decanter 2023 Edition 70cl, 45%
The epitome of Natural Color, it is the result of our commitment to craftsmanship and the use of the finest, 100% natural ingredients.
M is one of the darkest whiskeys we create. Aged in a small, hand-picked number of sherry oak casks, it proudly showcases The Macallan’s rich natural color.
DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
The Macallan M, 2022 release, one of The Macallan’s darkest expressions, highlights a rare selection of irreplaceable casks. Long exposure to sherry oak has produced a deep and brooding single malt.
This rare and exclusive spirit embodies transparency, as the quality of the whiskey glitters in the Lalique crystal decanter that encloses our naturally dark spirit. A personification of the rich influence that sherry-aged oak barrels have on the spirit within.
MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS AND RICH HERITAGE
The spirit is presented in a pristine crystal decanter. Individually numbered, it is a masterpiece by Lalique, the doyen of French glassmaking since 1888. The decanter’s six facets reflect and refract light, bringing the dark whiskey to life.
The inspiration comes from the six cornerstones of The Macallan, namely the winery, our curious little stills, the exceptional oak barrels, the sherry wine, the natural color and the mastery. Together they form the basis for the renowned quality and rich character of our whiskey.
A CELEBRATION OF MASTERSHIP
The carafe was designed by creative guru Fabien Baron, whose vision combines aesthetic expression with commercial art at its finest. His dramatic concept challenged Lalique considerably. The vessel’s sculptural geometry takes the craft of crystal glass into new territory, a vision for the future created with respect for the glories of the past.
A darkness full of promise. a light that sparkles in the sun. There is no better expression for single malt and modern crystal glasses that could complement each other.

M was matured in a small number of hand-selected casks, proudly showcasing our rich Natural Colour, while the transparent decanter reflects honesty as there is no artificial colouring. Prolonged contact with the sherry seasoned oak casks have burnished the deep and brooding single malt; The Macallan M presents a chord of rich flavour notes.
