Macallan Distil Your World. Hong Kong Edition. Bottled 2024. 700ml. 46.8%. In presentation box.
The Macallan Distil Your World: Hong Kong Edition features Macallan's renowned single malt, meticulously matured in a selection of sherry-seasoned European oak hogsheads, harmoniously married with smooth American oak casks. This careful selection creates a profile as dynamic and layered as the city itself.
The goal of this revered series is to create whiskies that capture the energy and complexity of unique destinations around the world.
Co-created by The Macallan's Whisky Maker, Euan Kennedy, and the renowned Roca brothers of El Celler de Can Roca, this release represents a journey "in search of the essence of the global city that has managed to re-imagine the possibilities of the public space, mixing ancient tradition with startling modernity."
The artwork for this vibrant release is provided by Pat WingShan Wong (aka Flying pig), reflecting the blue waters surrounding Hong Kong, elements of nature, and a sense of community spirit. These visual elements create a powerful and captivating tribute to the city's essence.
The grandest of Speyside’s blue chip distilleries, Macallan was founded in 1824 and carved a reputation for luxury single malt whisky in the 1980s with string of 18-year-old and 25-year-old sherry-matured vintage single malts distilled in the 1960s and 1970s, building on the renown of earlier highly-regarded licensed bottlings by Gordon & MacPhail and Campbell, Hope and King.
In the early 2000s, as the supply and quality of even the best sherry casks declined dramatically, Macallan introduced their Fine Oak series, an initially controversial range of bottlings that included bourbon-matured spirit in the cask recipe. While the Fine Oak series took some time to find its audience, Macallan’s status as the top Speyside distillery - particularly at auction - was already well-established and today a legion of eager Macallan fans ensure that each new luxury bottling from the distillery sells out immediately on release.
Distillery bottlings are, as the name suggests, bottled by or for the distillery from which the whisky has originated and are thus often referred to as Official Bottlings or OBs. Distillery bottlings are generally more desirable for collectors and usually fetch higher prices at auction than independent bottlings. They are officially-endorsed versions of the whisky from a particular distillery and are therefore considered the truest expression of the distillery’s character.
This ideal of the distillery character is regarded so seriously by the distilleries and brand owners that casks of whisky that are considered to vary too far from the archetype are frequently sold on to whisky brokers and independent bottlers. When this happens, it is often with the proviso that the distillery’s name is not allowed to be used when the cask is bottled for fear of diminishing or damaging the distillery’s character and status.
