The Macallan M Decanter, released in 2022, represents one of The Macallan's most obscure achievements, shedding light on an exceptionally rare selection of irreplaceable casks. The long period of contact with sherry and oak has refined a deep, brooding single malt.

This exceptional and exclusive spirit epitomizes transparency, as the quality of the whisky shines through the Lalique crystal decanter, which naturally encapsulates its dark character. It is an embodiment of the rich influence that oak casks previously seasoned with sherry have on the spirit that resides within. This elixir is presented in a flawless crystal decanter, each individually numbered, a masterpiece of glass artistry from Lalique, a French company that has been making glass since 1888. The decanter's six facets reflect and refract light, bringing the dark-hued whiskey to life.

Its inspiration comes from the six pillars that define The Macallan, namely the estate, unusually small stills, exceptional oak casks, sherry wine, natural color and expertise. These elements combine to underpin the renowned quality and rich character of our whisky.
