Macallan Concept No.2 2019
It’s the second release in Macallan’s Concept series, released for the Travel Retail market. While the first release took inspiration from surreal art, this expression takes inspiration from the world of music. Macallan whisky maker Steven Bremner is a house DJ and likens the layering of sounds to the layering of flavours, and has crafted this single malt using whisky drawn from sherry-seasoned American oak casks, Miguel Martin sherry casks and ex-bourbon casks. Stick on your favourite record/CD/MiniDisc/MP3/etc. and enjoy!
Description
It is the second of three whiskies that will comprise the Concept Series, and follows last year’s The Macallan Concept Number One, which aimed to “flip maturation on its head” by first ageing the liquid in Sherry-seasoned casks, and then ex-Bourbon barrels.Concept Number 2, created exclusively for global travel retail, aims to bring together two passions of The Macallan whisky maker Steven Bremner: whisky and music.
