The Macallan unveils Taiwan boutique exclusive

Edrington-owned single malt Scotch whisky the Macallan has unveiled the first expression in a new series exclusively available at its new stand-alone boutique at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

Bottled at 57% abv, The Macallan Boutique Collection is a single no-age-statement expression made from “a select number” of maturing casks kept aside for guests at the distillery’s Easter Elchies House.

While no further cask or pricing details have been released, the whisky is described as chestnut in colour, offering “a burst of spices and fruit” with “subtle notes of charred oak” on the finish.

The 700ml bottle carries a label featuring a sketch of Easter Elchies House and a capsule strip that can be personalised for the recipient.

“The opening of The Macallan Boutique in Taiwan was a landmark event in the brand’s journey in travel retail, and we continue to invest in creating the ultimate The Macallan experience,” said Igor Boyadjian, Edrington Global Travel Retail managing director.

“The Macallan Boutique Collection is the first in a number of new and exclusive product innovations we will showcase at The Macallan Boutique and reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering differentiation in the travel retail channel.

“It is already performing extremely well, having proven to be a popular gifting option for Chinese New Year as well as a highly collectible expression for Macallan connoisseurs.”

The Macallan Boutique opened in 2016 in partnership with operator Everrich Duty Free, offering airport customers the largest range of Macallan expressions available in travel retail.
