The Macallan x Charles Rennie Mackintosh – An artistic fusion of whisky and design

The Macallan is known for combining taste, aesthetics and storytelling like no other – and the latest launch confirms this. With the series “The Macallan x Charles Rennie Mackintosh: Art is the Flower – Life is the Green Leaf”, the distillery pays tribute to the iconic Scottish designer and architect through both whisky and art.

It's an elegant and exclusive limited edition series that not only tastes amazing – but also tells a deeper story of Scottish identity, creativity and heritage.

Who was Charles Rennie Mackintosh?

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928) is an icon in Scottish design history. Known for his unique and timeless architectural works and artistic patterns, he blended nature-inspired forms with strict geometry – often with flowers as the main motif.

The Macallan uses Mackintosh's philosophy as the starting point for this release:

"Art is the flower - Life is the green leaf."
A reminder that beauty and life are inextricably linked – just like whiskey and culture.

A tribute in liquid form

The series consists of three unique bottles, each inspired by Mackintosh's style and approach to form and color.

The flavor profile is elegant and balanced, characterized by:

• Floral notes

• Ripe fruits

• Subtle spices

• Light vanilla and oak notes

These are whiskies that speak to both the senses and the soul – and that match the aesthetic expression of the bottle's design and packaging.

The design that tells a story

Each bottle in the series is adorned with graphic elements inspired by Mackintosh's signature art - particularly his iconic rose patterns. The packaging is almost a work of art in itself, making the bottle a perfect collector's item or gift for aesthetes and whisky lovers.

A series for collectors and connoisseurs

This collection is part of The Macallan’s strategy to bridge the gap between art, culture and whisky craft . For collectors, it’s a great opportunity to add something truly special to their shelf – and for connoisseurs, it’s a rare tasting experience with added depth and symbolism.
