Part of the fourth release in The Macallan’s annual Harmony Collection, Guardian Oak is a travel retail exclusive that celebrates the distillery’s 200th anniversary and its enduring relationship with oak. This expression was launched alongside Vibrant Oak, in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, and matured in a combination of first-fill sherry-seasoned European oak casks and refill sherry casks. Guardian Oak showcases the role of oak in shaping the character of Macallan whisky, while also honouring the harmony between nature and human creativity through its artistic packaging design.
