Master of Class
Macallan M is a whisky that redefines
design; it is the perfect example of
exceptional care and craftsmanship
with every aspect exuding class
orn from a
collaboration
between three
masters of their
arts, Macallan
M is an expertly
crafted single malt
whisky that is a masterpiece of unrivalled
sophistication. Designed by Creative
Director Fabien Baron, brought to life by
Lalique’s mastery of crystal, and brought to
purpose by The Macallan’s highly complex,
meticulously crafted single-malt whisky, M
is perfection from start to finish.
Contained within an exquisite, exclusively
designed crystal decanter that embodies
the aesthetics of Fabien Baron’s illustrious
creative vision, the resulting design takes
an unexpected geometric form, which
forces you to take notice of and question
all perceptions of traditional decanter
design. Fashioned in the highest-grade
crystal, the finished creation draws on 150
years’ experience as Lalique showcases
a dedication to refinement and flawless
clarity. Each handcrafted, individually
numbered decanter combines recognised
tradition with striking originality exuding
beauty, integrity, and expression at every
glance.
Beginning in the spiritual Macallan
home—the breathtaking Easter Elchies
House—M is crafted to produce an
interwoven flavour of rich, dried fruit,
spices, orange citrus, and wood notes.The attention to each note is achieved
by using the smallest stills in Speyside,
which allow for maximum contact with the
spirit, creating the rich, fruity, full-bodied
character at M’s heart. Chosen from only
the top crop of the Macallan’s spirit means
that M is taken from one of the smallest and
most-refined selections in the industry. The
final result is a masterful spirit created from
only the finest cut: distinctly robust and
characterful of the “new make” spirit at the
heart of M.
Meanwhile, M also draws on The
Macallan’s classic, full-flavoured tradition.
With a rich natural colour, complexity,
and sumptuous intensity never before
seen, its peerless spirit helps cement The
Macallan’s proudly unsurpassed place in
the hearts of connoisseurs and collectors
around the world.WEDDINGS | SPOTLIGHT
