If you enjoy both the flavor of a well-made single malt Scotch whisky and the taste of tropical fruit, you’re going to love the newest release from The Macallan. The sixth and final release from The Harmony Collection is made up of two single malt whiskies. The first is called Inspired by Fresh Coconut and the second is called Inspired by Toasted Coconut.

The two new tropical-inspired single malt whiskies

As I mentioned earlier, the two releases are Inspired by Fresh Coconut and Inspired by Toasted Coconut. Both whiskies were matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned American oak casks and casks that previously held bourbon.

Inspired by Fresh Coconut is bottled at 46.4% ABV and, according to The Macallan, begins with a nose of fresh coconut, citrus peels, tropical fruits, vanilla beans, oak, and spices. The palate is centered on flavors of coconut milk, lime, and a floral finish.

According to The Macallan, Inspired by Toasted Coconut is a bolder, richer expression than its counterpart. Aromas of toasted coconut, caramelized sugar, and white chocolate are abundant on the nose. Sipping it reveals hints of coconut truffle, caramelized pineapple, and frangipane. The finish is long, warm, and ends with a mix of oak and tropical fruits.

“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,” Kirsteen Campbell, Master Whisky Maker at The Macallan, says.

“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.”

Where can I buy them?

The Macallan Harmony Collection, Inspired by Fresh Coconut, is available exclusively online at www.themacallan.com and at The Macallan Estate Boutique for the suggested retail price of $185 for a 750ml bottle.

The Macallan ends its “A Night on Earth” series with a New Orleans-inspired single malt whisky

The Macallan

If you’ve been following The Macallan recently, you’re probably aware of the renowned single malt Scotch whisky maker’s “A Night on Earth” series. Recently, the brand announced that the fifth and final release of the collection is literally called “The Finale,” and this limited-edition expression is an homage to the music, culture, and spirit of an evening out in New Orleans.

Friendsgiving 2026 is getting a makeover: Brunch, mac and cheese, and potlucks take over

A table full of Thanksgiving foods

Friendsgiving is moving to the daytime in 2026, taking on new trends that differ from previous years. This year, trends show that friends are centering on comfort-style foods and letting the dishes do the decorating. In a recent survey by Napa Cellars, data showed that 67.2% of respondents prefer a daytime celebration, led by “brunch-giving” at 35.6% and late-afternoon “sip and graze” gatherings at 31.6%. Personally, as a brunch lover, I am totally here for this trend. Nighttime gatherings are sometimes overrated (especially for those of us over 30).

Elevated mac and cheese ranked as the number one must-have side at 40%, while other sides such as mashed potatoes (25.2%) and traditional stuffing (10.4%) ranked less favorably. While 76.4% are at least somewhat likely to share their gathering on social media, fewer than 10% will spend extra on decor, compared with 79.6% who will spend extra on food.

Just in time for the Holidays, Old Potrero is releasing a whiskey called “Christmas Spirit”

Whiskey glass

The holidays are speeding towards us like a fruitcake-fueled, pine tree-scented hot rod driven by the man in red himself. Christmas is less than two months away. That doesn’t leave much time to sit on your hands instead of buying the perfect gifts for friends and family. You may already be thinking about holiday gifts, but you can’t figure out what to give your whiskey-loving older brother or cousin.

It seems like they already have any hard-to-find whiskey that you’d ever think of, right? Well, the folks at Old Potrero have made a whiskey that even they likely don’t have. And it just might be the most seasonally appropriate whiskey ever made. Don’t believe me? It’s literally called Christmas Spirit.
