A release that brings together the worlds of chocolate and whisky thanks to a collaboration with the famed chocolate boutique Casa Cacao by the renowned Roca Brothers - creators at the Restaurant El Celler de Can Roca. For the first annual release of the limited-edition whisky, The Macallan Whisky Maker Polly Logan embarked on a journey to Casa Cacao to explore the chocolate-making process and uncover the distinctive flavour profiles of chocolate. This whisky was drawn from a combination of European and American oak casks, matured in sherry casks, created to be paired harmoniously with fine chocolates for an elevated tasting experience. The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is presented in a 100% recyclable gift box, made using discarded husks from cacao pods. The sustainable packaging includes the front, back label and shoulder label as well as the box ribbon.
