The Macallan Masters of Photography Rare Cask Black is a landmark release — the very first peated expression ever bottled by The Macallan, created in collaboration with world-renowned photographer Steven Klein. Released in 2016 as part of the celebrated Masters of Photography series, this extraordinary whisky was sourced from just 100 sherry-seasoned casks, bottled at 48% ABV without chill filtration, and strictly limited to 5,000 bottles worldwide. For collectors and connoisseurs alike, this is one of the most significant and sought-after Macallan releases in decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Macallan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 sherry seasoned casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only 5,000 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Chill Filtered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe first ever peated Macallan release\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark amber, rich nutty brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense peat smoke threads through a complex, sherried nose of dried fruits — dates, figs, and raisins — with nutmeg, ginger, and polished oak.
