The Art of the Unexpected The Macallan Concept No. 1 is a celebration of the world’s visionaries and those who dare to innovate. As the inaugural release in the Concept Series, this single malt was crafted to challenge the traditional sensory experience of whisky. Inspired by surrealist art, it utilizes imaginative techniques to create a profile that is both familiar and entirely new.

Innovative Double Maturation Concept No. 1 is distinguished by its unique maturation path. Unlike most whiskies that age in one cask type before being finished in another, this spirit was matured first in sherry-seasoned oak casks and then for an equal amount of time in ex-bourbon casks. This “double maturation” process allows the zestier citrus notes of the bourbon wood to play a leading role alongside the traditional Macallan dried fruit and spice.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet butterscotch toffee leads into almond, dried fruit, and a bright burst of citrus.
Palate: Zesty orange and lemon citrus are balanced by soft oak spices, fresh ginger, and a hint of green banana.
Finish: Medium-long and sweet, with a lingering dry oak and citrus zest finish.

A Groundbreaking Collector’s Item As the bottle that launched the Concept Series, No. 1 is a essential for collectors tracking the evolution of Macallan’s experimental releases. Its vibrant, abstract packaging reflects the surrealist theme, making it a standout visual piece in any collection. At R18,999.00, it represents a rare opportunity to own a pivotal chapter in Macallan’s history of innovation.
