Spirits Shops | WHISKY | Macallan The Harmony Collection Guardian Oak

To The fourth release in the Macallan Harmony Collection is a vibrant and complex single malt that beautifully captures the influence of sherry casks on its spirit. Made in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, Vibrant Oak has been matured in a combination of first-fill American oak sherry casks and refill sherry casks, creating a balance between the rich sherry character and the sweet spice and vanilla of American oak. Released in October 2024, Guardian Oak is one of two additions to the distillery's Harmony Collection produced in collaboration with famed contemporary circus company, Cirque du Soleil, following the partnership's SPIRIT event in May that year. Bottled alongside the commercial release Vibrant oak, both expressions have been created to demonstrate key differences between wood influences in the whisky. These expressions join a number of extravagant releases to mark the distillery's 200th anniversary year.

Guardian Oak was a travel retail exclusive which has been matured in a combination of first-fill sherry-seasoned European oak casks and refill sherry casks.

As with all Harmony Collection releases, the bottle is presented in a 100% recyclable and biodegradable box, this time produced from oak chippings leftover from the production of casks.
