Macallan Harmony Collection 'Smooth Arabica' Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Macallan Harmony Collection Smooth Arabica Single Malt Scotch Whisky—a unique expression inspired by the Ethiopian Arabica coffee bean, believed to be the first cultivated coffee species. This limited-edition release is part of The Macallan's annual Harmony Collection, which explores innovative sustainable packaging by repurposing organic by-products. Bottled at 40% ABV, Smooth Arabica offers a delightful whisky and coffee pairing experience, exuding flavors of ground coffee, hazelnut, sweet raisin, and vanilla. The packaging incorporates repurposed coffee bean husks, reflecting The Macallan's commitment to sustainability.

Nose: Ground coffee, hazelnuts, sweet raisin, dark cherry, toffee, vanilla, and sweet oak.

Palate: Flavors of Americano coffee, raisins, cherries, soft spices, walnut, vanilla, and oak.

Finish: Lingering notes of coffee beans turning sweet and creamy.

Enhance your tasting experience by pairing this exceptional single malt with dishes that complement its rich and complex profile. The deep notes of coffee and dark fruits harmonize beautifully with desserts like tiramisu or dark chocolate truffles, where the sweetness balances the whisky's robust character. For a savory option, consider a rich, slow-cooked beef stew infused with coffee and spices, which will accentuate the whisky's depth and complexity. These pairings create a balanced and memorable culinary journey.
