A TRULY VIBRANT EXPRESSION
The macallan m copper is the embodiment of our respect for those who have come before us and an ode to the Curiously Small Stills that play an integral role in how we craft our precious spirit. With a natural colour of spun gold, M Copper is a vibrant and elegant expression which brings the flavours created in the stills to the fore.
Continuing to use smaller spirit stills ensures that we maximise the contact of our new make spirit with the copper still, resulting in a single malt with a buttery, viscous mouth coating, bursting with fruitiness with a hint of sweet malty flavour.
This single malt’s copper coloured Lalique crystal decanter represents the stills and reflects the authenticity which drives the brand through its dedication to innovative methods.
CURIOUSLY SMALL STILLS: THE MACALLAN M COPPER, 2022 RELEASE
Our Curiously Small Stills are one of the defining features of our distillation process. The curiously small stills gives the spirit perfect contact with the copper, which helps to concentrate our ‘new make’ spirit and create the rich and robust character that The Macallan single malts are renowned for.
As the liquid is heated in the stills, the alcohol within boils and turns to vapour, travelling over the neck of the still, where it cools and is condensed back into liquid. In larger and taller stills the alcohol vapour has a long way to travel, resulting in heavier vapours falling back into the boil and only the lighter vapours finding their way into the condenser. With small stills we can collect a dense and rich style of spirit, as the alcohol vapour doesn’t travel as far.
Distilling our full-bodied spirit ensures that we can mature our whiskies for a long time, allowing the spirit to soak up all the intricate flavours of our oak wood casks.
