The Macallan M Copper Single Malt 2022 Release

With a natural colour of spun gold, M Copper is a vibrant and elegant expression. This release pays tribute and is a reflection of the Curiously Small Stills that remain essential to the crafting of our precious spirit to this day. Not only a defining feature of the distillation process, they also represent a pivotal moment in whisky-making history - as when most distilleries moved to larger, higher production copper stills, The Macallan focused on exceptional quality by continuing to use the small stills that create our unique spirit. Their distinctive shape and size help to concentrate the new make spirit, creating its rich, robust character.

M Copper has a buttery, viscous mouth coating with a fruity character and a hint of sweet malty flavour. A handcrafted Lalique copper coloured crystal decanter represents the stills and reflects our dedication to innovation while holding to our time honoured processes.

M was matured in a small number of hand-selected casks, proudly showcasing our rich Natural Colour, while the transparent decanter reflects honesty as there is no artificial colouring. Prolonged contact with the sherry seasoned oak casks have burnished the deep and brooding single malt; The Macallan M presents a chord of rich flavour notes. With an amber hue, M reveals the Distillery’s classic sherry seasoned, full-flavoured character imparting notes of chocolate, rich dried fruit and spice.

The M Collection is a testament to the custodians who have guarded and treasured the exceptional oak casks and their precious contents for generations. This is reflected in the whisky decanters, designed by Fabien Baron, whose vision combines aesthetic expression with commercial art in its finest form. Housed in hand blown  crystal glass decanters, Legendary French house Lalique has been leading French glass making since 1888 and is a master in the art of glass making.

There could be no better expression of single malt and contemporary crystal glassware to complement one another. Distinction deserves celebration, and these remarkable single malts hold a special place, both in their unique whisky, and the breathtaking decanters that contain them.
