Macallan Harmony Cherrywood Lapsang Whisky - Jing

Macallan Harmony Collection – Cherrywood Lapsang unites Scottish whisky craftsmanship with Japanese tea artistry in a unique, sensory experience. A limited edition single malt that speaks to both the senses and the soul.

This exclusive release in The Macallan Harmony Collection is inspired by the aromatic complexity of organic Cherrywood Lapsang tea. Master Whisky Maker Steven Bremner has created a single malt that elegantly balances natural smoke, fruit sweetness, and spicy richness – a meeting between Scotland and Japan in liquid form.

Cherrywood Lapsang is bottled without artificial colour and matured in an artful combination of European and American oak casks, carefully selected to highlight the tea's character. With a limited number of bottles available globally, this is not just a whisky – it is a collector's item for the connoisseur and an unforgettable gift idea.

Aroma

The scent opens with mild smoky notes, reminiscent of a quiet teahouse in Tokyo's early morning light. Beneath the veil of smoke, a refined sweetness emerges – red apples, ripe cherries, and delicate wood notes balance the aromatic portrait.

Spiced ginger, cloves, and a touch of menthol creep forward on the nose and create depth, while the scent of dry leaves and a hint of nuts provides a natural, earthy counterpoint to the floral overtones.

Taste

On the tongue, it opens with silky warmth and gentle smoke notes that caress the palate in harmony with juicy orange peel and sweet pipe tobacco. A bold complexity unfolds – from light oak to burnt spices and dark fruits.

The flavour profile is layered: First caramelised sugar and vanilla, then cherry stone and wild honey, finishing with a subtle mineral finesse. The texture is rich and almost creamy, like a slow sip from a well-tempered teacup.

Finish

The finish is long, warm, and lightly smoky – but never overwhelming. A lingering sensation of dried fruit, spices, and an elegant touch of toasted wood rounds off the experience with balanced precision.
