The Macallan Harmony Collection Intense Arabica is the second edition in Macallan limited annual release series, this special single malt exudes flavours of sweet oak, tiramisu and dark chocolate, and provides a delightful whisky and coffee pairing experience.

This special single malt is inspired by the Ethiopian Arabica bean. Ethiopia is claimed to be the birthplace of coffee as the Arabica bean was the first species of coffee to be cultivated.

With a distinct coffee flavour, this whisky exudes notes of espresso, dark chocolate and sweet oak. The intensely flavoured single malt invites you to immerse yourself in a sensory journey through flavour and aroma.

Nose: The nose is initially restrained and on the quiet side, needing a bit of teasing. With time and agitation, the unmistakable hints of milk coffee notes arose from the glass, followed by Macallan’s signature spice and fruit. Currants and blueberries featured strongly. Digging under the fruit, the influence of the oak started to emerge more, bringing out dark chocolate and cappuccino notes.

Colour: Crema.

Nose: Tiramisu, cappuccino, gingerbread, raisins, almonds, sweet oak, vanilla.

Palate: Espresso, dark chocolate, raisins, tiramisu, blackberry, vanilla, Brazil nut, sweet oak.
