The Macallan has unveiled Concept Number 2 – a captivating expression that is inspired by the similarities in the creative approaches of crafting whisky and creating music.

This is the second release in the Concept Series – a collection that fuses the passion behind The Macallan’s whisky making with innovative art, music and culture. Created exclusively for Global Travel Retail, Concept Number 2 brings together music and whisky – two of the passions of The Macallan Whisky Maker, Steven Bremner. Remarkably, Steven has combined his great interests in this expression – beyond being a Whisky Maker for The Macallan, he is also an avid house music DJ.

The Macallan Concept Number 2 calls on exceptional casks to produce a rich and rewarding multi-sensory experience, where a powerful foundation is brought to life with flourishes and tones woven together to create a harmonious and vibrant work of art.

For Concept Number 2, sherry-seasoned American oak casks bring a rhythmic sweetness of vanilla, citrus and toffee. The rounded spiciness of Miguel Martin sherry casks create an energetic treble while ex-bourbon casks introduce harmonies of floral citrus and vanilla.
