COLOUR COLLECTION 12 YEARS OLD

DESCRIPTION

With lemon yellow, drips of chalky white, “albero” and “teja”, and a branch from a sherry grape vine, we are transported to the strikingly pale terroir of Jerez de la Frontera.

We collaborated with Artist and Graphic Designer, David Carson for The Colour Collection. He used albariza soil as a medium, applying it to the paper as if it were paint. Beside the 12 Years Old, we see Easter Elchies House, an emblem of the Spiritual Home of The Macallan in Speyside, Scotland.

The packaging colours for the 12 Years Old has been carefully chosen to complement the tone of the whisky within, echoing the strikingly pale terroir of Jerez de la Frontera. The Macallan Colour Collection 12 Years Old is the youngest whisky in the range and the age statement with the lightest Natural Colour: a golden oak hue, evoking its tasting notes of sweet oak, lemon and vanilla.

Bordering the expansive Atlantic Ocean, Jerez is another worldly land of hot summers, resilient vineyards and fine wines. This is where The Macallan’s oak casks are seasoned with fine sherry, critical to creating exceptional single malt whisky with a profoundly lustrous Natural Colour.
