The Macallan concluded its six-year Harmony Collection limited-release series with two limited-edition single malt Scotch whiskies inspired by coconut, fresh and toasted. Like other pairs from the series exploring different facets of tea, chocolate and lush landscapes, these two new single malt Scotch whiskies share a common theme but retain a unique character. Inspired by Fresh Coconut explores the clean yet rich taste of coconut with citrus, tropical fruits, vanilla and sweet oak, while Inspired by Toasted Coconut is richer, thanks to touches of crème caramel, white chocolate and charred pineapple.
Sweet treats made by Jordi Roca at El Celler de Can Roca accompany a selection of unique serves of Inspired by Fresh Coconut, and the Inspired by Toasted Coconut expression can only be found at select global travel locations.
