Macallan Harmony Collection – Cherrywood Lapsang unites Scotch whisky craftsmanship with Japanese tea art 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, fruity sweetness and spicy richness – a meeting of 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 enhance the character of the tea. 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 fragrance opens with gentle smoky notes, reminiscent of a quiet teahouse in the early morning light of Tokyo. Beneath the smokey veil, a refined sweetness emerges – red apples, ripe cherries and delicate woody notes balance the aromatic portrait.
Spicy ginger, cloves and a touch of menthol creep into the nose and create depth, while the scent of dry foliage and hints of nuts provide a natural, earthy counterpoint to the floral overtones.
Taste
On the tongue, it opens with silky warmth and gentle smoky 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 flavor profile is layered: first caramelized sugar and vanilla, then cherry stones 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 aftertaste is long, warm and slightly smoky – but never overwhelming. A lingering sensation of dried fruit, spices and an elegant touch of toasted wood round out the experience with balanced precision.
