This limited-edition release from Macallan draws inspiration from Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s depiction of nature in architecture, art and design. It was aged in sherry casks, resulting in notes of sweet oak, candied ginger, fresh apples and hints of tea leaf.
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 art collaboration explores nature and its power to inspire. The inspiration for this beautiful release is the world renowned Scottish architect, designer and artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh whose unique style continues to influence artisans and global projects today.
Mackintosh’s 1902 stained-glass panel ‘The Spirit of the Rose’ gracefully captures the philosophy of the tree of life with unique and iconic visual character. His interpretation of the perpetual advance of nature inspired the creation of The Macallan Art is the Flower.
Mackintosh poetically considered art as the flower to life’s green leaf. He appealed to the arts and crafts community in his 1902 lecture on Seemliness to ‘offer the flowers of the art that is in you – the symbols of all that is noble – and beautiful – and inspiring.’
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.
“Art is the Flower – Life is the Green Leaf / Let every artist strive to make his
flower a beautiful living thing – something that will convince the world that
there may be – there are things more precious – more beautiful more lasting
than life. But to do this you must offer real living – beautifully coloured flowers
– flowers that grow from but above the green leaf – flowers that are not dead –
are not dying – not artificial – real flowers springing from your own soul – not
even cut flowers – you must offer the flowers of the art that is in you – the
symbols of all that is noble – and beautiful – and inspiring – flowers that will
often change a colourless cheerless life – into an animated thoughtful thing.”
