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.”
