More commonly known as The Macallan Lalique VI, it was the last expression added into the extraordinary Macallan Lalique Six Pillars Collection, started from 2005.
The sixth edition features the Peerless Spirit, which is the last and probably most important one of the distillery's six foundation characters.

The crystal decanter, more like a perfume container, has been designed by the renowned Lalique to emphasis the Peerless Drop at the centre falling from the Macallan triangle.

The spirit inside, having been aged in the finest ex-sherry casks for no less than 65 years, is by far one of the oldest and rarest whiskies ever released.

Tasting note:
"Nose
Weighty and rich, with supreme balance. The aroma of honey-dipped vanilla mingles with cinnamon and dates.

Palate
Cracked black pepper awakens the taste buds, followed closely by cloves and roasted cocoa beans..

Finish
The viscous mouth feel and strong aromas build to an extraordinary finish of dark chocolate and smoked honey, signifying complexity only found in an expertly aged whisky of this exceptional quality. Quite simply, a peerless spirit. "
