Product Description: An elegant Speyside single malt shaped by The Macallan’s collaboration with JING Tea. The Macallan Harmony Collection Jing Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea is a limited release inspired by the aromatic depth of single garden oolong from Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong. Matured primarily in sherry seasoned American oak with supporting European oak and a subtle influence from ex bourbon casks, it captures a spectrum of honeyed fruit, soft florals and restrained oak sweetness. The aroma leads with peach, nectarine and delicate orchid notes alongside hints of dried tropical fruit, citrus warmth and gentle toffee. The palate follows with a silky, medium bodied profile that layers honeyed malt, peach and apricot compote with light vanilla and measured oak spice. A touch of leafy astringency nods to the tea that inspired the release while a faint roasted edge reflects the presence of European sherry oak. The finish is moderately long and quietly expressive with lingering honey, apricot and a soft floral accent. This whisky’s balance of fruit, perfume and fine tannin lends natural harmony to dishes such as lightly spiced duck or sweet spanner crab. Tasting Notes NOSE – Honeyed and floral Peach, nectarine and orchid perfume with dried tropical fruit, soft citrus and gentle toffee. PALATE – Silky and layered Honeyed malt with peach and apricot compote, light vanilla, subtle oak spice and a touch of leafy astringency.

"Very high quality & teasingly complex peated malt." 95 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022 If your single malt selections are dictated by budget constraints, this will be a no brainer (so long as you don't mind a bit of peat). Conceived in 2006, Bruichladdich revived the Port Charlotte label from the Lochindaal distillery, operational between 1829 to 1929, two miles south in the town of Port Charlotte. Historical accounts from legendary British documentarian Alfred Barnard knew Lochindaal to produce only heavily peated malts, so the PC style is a replica of sorts. It started as 'PC5' with yearly follow-ups culminating in this general release 10 year old. Delivering a knock-out mix of lanolin, smouldering pine, butter menthol and vanilla cream that even the peat shy will fall for, it's superbly integrated, zesty, complex - and incredibly, at 40ppm the peat is not overbearing; Perfumed aromatics and a 50% ABV attack include Fisherman’s Friend lozenge, farmyard, dried grass and butterscotch as well as lanolin, oatmeal biscuit and chimney soot, followed by a finish that's delicately salty with dusty cocoa and hints of black tea. Both affordable and unanimously praised, it's one of those rare malts you can't fail to be impressed by. Matured predominantly in first-fill American oak casks, along with second-fill American and second-fill French wine casks, it comes bottled non chill filtered. 50% Alc./Vol. [2016 edition tasted].

Signature fruity flavour, creamy sweetness, well-balanced, smooth

The Macallan Edition No. 5 is a homage to the diversity and complexity of natural colour, celebrating Macallan’s commitment to natural whisky. It follows Editions No 1 and No 2, focused on cask influence; Edition No 3, which explored the impact of aroma; and Edition No 4, which was focused on structure. Sarah Burgess, whisky maker for Macallan, adds, "Whilst colour development starts with mixing basic colours with precision to achieve different shades, when it comes to whisky making, it is the knowledge and understanding of a specific palette of colours from the cask which is the starting-point." The colour connection is made all the more salient by ‘a uniquely bold shade of purple’ used on the label, developed by designers at the Pantone Colour Institute in New Jersey. 48.5% Alc./Vol.

A classic dram, this full-bodied single malt has a surprising sweetness which leads into a long, warming finish.

Local water is sourced from the legendary Kilbride Stream, and the malted barley is cold-smoked then dried over a fire fuelled by the Islay peat. This lends a distinctive flavour that speaks of the land where it was forged.
