Macallan Concept Number 2

Bottled exclusively for the travel retail market

The creative process for both music and a single malt whisky can take a similar path. The layering of sounds can be placed down like the layering of different flavours from specific cask types. Each different cask brings its own influence to the character of the whisky, like each instrument, or sound, adds depth to a track. In both cases, each different element, whether it be flavour or sounds, can be enhanced or played down as required.

This particular release brought together two passions of Whisky Maker, Steven Bremner. Beyond being part of their Whisky Master Team, Steven is also an avid house music DJ, and has curated a unique playlist inspired by Concept Number 2.

The Macallan Concept Number 2 arises from a collection of exceptional casks, producing a rich and rewarding multi-sensory experience. Sherry-seasoned American oak casks bring a rhythmic sweetness of vanilla, citrus and toffee. This is married with the rounded spiciness of Miguel Martin sherry casks, while ex-bourbon casks introduce harmonies of floral citrus and vanilla.
