Macallan - Art Is The Flower Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Macallan Art is the Flower celebrates the uniqueness of natural beauty and the circularity of life and nature. With this exclusive expression of The Macallan single malt whisky we pay tribute to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, inspired by his art and poetic prose.
The Macallan Art is the Flower has been respectfully crafted to celebrate the circularity of nature captured in Mackintosh’s 1902 stained-glass panel ‘The Spirit of the Rose’.
Inspired by Mackintosh’s exceptional depiction of nature in architecture, art and design, The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team’s exemplary art of whisky making is expressed in The Macallan Art is the Flower single malt scotch whisky.
This single malt, matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks, recognising Mackintosh’s time in Europe, presents a beautiful, deeply coloured whisky with flavour characteristics that have been allowed to develop naturally over time.
Art is the Flower, with aroma and tasting notes of fruits that bear their own blossoms, is a delicate nod to the beautiful words from Mackintosh’s lecture on Seemliness.
This art collaboration explores nature and its power to inspire. The inspiration for this beautiful release is the world renowned Scottish architect, designer and artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh whose unique style continues to influence artisans and global projects today.
Mackintosh's 1902 stained-glass panel 'The Spirit of the Rose' gracefully captures the philosophy of the tree of life with unique and iconic visual character. His interpretation of the perpetual advance of nature inspired the creation of The Macallan Art is the Flower.
Mackintosh poetically considered art as the flower to life's green leaf. He appealed to the arts and crafts community in his 1902 lecture on Seemliness to ‘offer the flowers of the art that is in you – the symbols of all that is noble – and beautiful – and inspiring.’
The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team expresses their art in this exceptional deep oak single malt matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks with notes of raisin and fig, polished oak, cherry, almonds, orange and treacle.
