Macallan Art Is The Flower

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.’

The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team expresses their art in this exceptional deep oak single malt matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks with notes of raisin and fig, polished oak, cherry, almonds, orange and treacle.  

A palate of sweet oak, vanilla, ginger, apple and a wisp of tea leaf with a finish that is long, sweet, rich and full.
