AUGUST 4, 2026: The Macallan has unveiled the sixth and concluding release in The Harmony Collection, marking the final chapter in a series that explores the brand’s deep-rooted connection to the natural world through creativity, craftsmanship and innovation.
The Macallan Harmony Collection, a limited annual release series, is driven by the brand’s inherent curiosity and innovative mindset, and consistently draws inspiration from collaborations with world-renowned chefs, connoisseurs and artists to create distinctive whiskies with unique flavor profiles. Previous Harmony editions include partnerships with Cirque Du Soleil, Stella and Mary McCartney, and JING Tea.
Crafted by The Macallan’s Whisky Mastery team, the release comprises two distinctive single malt Scotch whiskies: Inspired by Fresh Coconut and Inspired by Toasted Coconut. Through precise cask selection and maturation expertise, the team has skillfully drawn forward a nuanced coconut character rarely present in The Macallan, showcasing the balance between the science and art of whisky making.
A vibrant and playful expression bottled at 46.3% ABV, The Macallan Harmony Collection, Inspired by Fresh Coconut reveals notes of fresh coconut, citrus and tropical fruits layered with vanilla, sweet oak and gentle spice. The palate unfolds with coconut milk, zesty lime and soft sweetness, leading to a bright, floral finish. The latter, The Macallan Harmony Collection, Inspired by Toasted Coconut, is a richer expression characterized by toasted coconut, crème caramel and white chocolate on the nose. The palate delivers coconut truffle, charred pineapple and frangipane, with a long, warming finish of sweet oak and tropical fruits.
Together, the two single malt whiskies present a study in contrast and complement: fresh and toasted, vibrant and rich, unified by a shared sense of balance. By drawing out these unique flavor notes, the Whisky Mastery team has created two distinct whiskies defined by balance, complexity and natural character.
The whiskies are matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned American oak casks and casks that previously held bourbon. The natural properties of American oak heighten the presence of coconut notes, while the cask combination ensures balance, allowing this character to come through with clarity.
Kirsteen Campbell, Master Whisky Maker at The Macallan, commented: “With this concluding release in The Harmony Collection, we have carefully guided coconut notes to the forefront of the whisky through precise cask selection and maturation. The result is two beautifully balanced expressions that showcase both the natural influence of oak and the skill of our Whisky Mastery team, where each element has been carefully shaped to achieve a harmonious and distinctive character.”
As the concluding release in The Harmony Collection, these expressions bring the series back to where the journey first began – The Macallan Estate. Extending the experience beyond the glass, The Harmony Collection is brought to life through the TimeSpirit Dining Experience, a creative collaboration with the world-renowned El Celler de Can Roca. United by an insatiable curiosity, quest for knowledge, and dedication to innovation, TimeSpirit is El Celler de Can Roca’s first dining concept outside of Spain, building on a partnership spanning over a decade between the Roca Brothers and The Macallan.
Inspired by the whisky, a series of sweet creations by acclaimed pastry chef Jordi Roca are paired with a selection of unique serves. A series of six bespoke cocktail serves have been created to complement the whiskies, each designed to highlight and interpret the coconut character in different ways. From bright, tropical and citrus-led profiles to richer, creamier and indulgent notes, the serves offer a fresh perspective on how The Macallan can be experienced.
Jordi Roca, from El Celler de Can Roca, commented: “Collaborating on this release has been a joyful creative journey. By exploring coconut in its many forms, we have crafted a series of pairings that play with texture, contrast and balance, designed to complement and elevate the whisky in subtle and unexpected ways.”
Jaume Ferras, Creative Director at The Macallan, commented: “The Harmony Collection represents the culmination of a journey defined by curiosity and creativity. This release brings together exceptional whisky mastery, innovative materials and immersive storytelling to create a truly harmonious experience. By exploring a flavor profile rarely seen in The Macallan, we are presenting something both unexpected and unmistakably true to our heritage.”
In keeping with the collection's ethos of material innovation, the presentation boxes for both whiskies are crafted using discarded coconut fibers, transformed through an emission-free process into a richly textured material with a natural black hue, embracing the use of organic materials in their packaging and creating beauty from resources at the end of their natural lives.

Global Travel Retail exclusive, The Macallan Harmony Collection, Inspired by Toasted Coconut will be available at select airports globally beginning on August 4th for an SRP of $185.

About The Macallan: The Macallan is renowned worldwide for its extraordinary single malt Scotch whiskies. Over two centuries have passed since Alexander Reid, founder of The Macallan, distilled the first batch of whisky in his curiously small stills in Speyside, Scotland, in 1824, beginning the extraordinary legacy of the single malt Scotch whisky.
An obsession with quality and craftsmanship is the hallmark of The Macallan. The outstanding quality and distinctive character of each whisky is influenced by our exceptional oak casks seasoned with our sherry wine—a commitment to natural color underpinned by mastery. This essential chapter in its story begins in the picturesque region of Jerez, Spain, where its European and American oak casks are crafted and seasoned. Ownership and management of cooperages and sherry bodegas in Jerez have been instrumental in shaping the signature taste of The Macallan.
Designed by internationally acclaimed architects, The Macallan Distillery is located on a beautiful 485-acre Estate and takes inspiration from the surrounding ancient Scottish hills.
Crafted without compromise. Please savor The Macallan responsibly. For further information visit themacallan.com and become a member of The Macallan Society to explore the stories behind the whiskies.
