Price Statistics

Description

Macallan Distil Your World: Paris is a statement piece—an ultra-luxury single malt designed as much for collectors as for serious whisky drinkers. It pushes beyond the distillery’s classic profile by incorporating rare Cognac casks, resulting in a whisky that is richer, more perfumed, and more gastronomic in style. This is Macallan at its most conceptual and high-end—built around narrative, craftsmanship, and exclusivity. Origins & CraftsmanshipCreated by The Macallan’s Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell, this release is part of the Distil Your World series—an ongoing collaboration with the Roca brothers of El Celler de Can Roca, focused on translating global culinary cultures into whisky. El Celler de Can Roca The Paris Edition, the fifth in the series, draws inspiration from French gastronomy and “l’art de la table”—the culture of refined dining and presentation. Maturation is where this whisky differentiates itself. It combines: Sherry-seasoned European oak casks (depth and spice) Sherry-seasoned American oak casks (sweetness and vanilla) Ex-bourbon casks (lift and structure) Rare Cognac casks (a distinctive, elegant aromatic layer) The Cognac cask influence is particularly notable—an uncommon element for Macallan—adding floral, fruit-forward, and patisserie-like complexity. The whisky is bottled at 47.2% ABV with natural color. Presentation is equally considered: a Parisian artist-designed case inspired by the city’s light and culture, reinforcing its position as a collectible object as much as a whisky. Critics ReviewsThere are no widely published professional critic scores available. Tasting Profile Nose: Almond croissant, vanilla pod, and nectarine layered with rose, sandalwood, and soft citrus perfume.
