The Macallan Honors Mexico With New Whisky
In 2020 The Macallan launched a unique whisky collection that would honor different countries worldwide. The first year the Distil Your World special edition was dedicated to London. This year the distillery has dedicated the newest addition to the series: Distil Your World Mexico.
Distil Your World is a unique touch to popular collection themes. Traditional concepts include popular icons on the bottle of the brand, such as a rock star or famous politician. However, The Macallan has moved beyond the trend of adornments when the whiskies end up with the same taste that reminds us of something digestible. This includes food, spices, or condiments: marzipan, marmalade, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Distil Your World Mexico by The Macallan
Notably, the theory is even impossible. Imagine a whisky flavor that reminds you of a place you visited! This is what the Scotch whisky maker is achieving in its rare collection. Distil Your World promises to take you back in time to a place that you once knew. London? Mexico?
Amazing as it may sound, a single sip of any Distil Your World brand will warp you off to memory lane. well, it may not be rocket science, but it is not that far. Each edition of the collection is elaborated with the Roca brothers. These boys are the famous owners of El Celler de Can Roca, a restaurant in Girona, Spain.
For the Mexico edition, the toll fell on whisky maker Diane Stuart who travelled to Mexico City with chef Joan Roca to drink the sights, sounds, and flavors of the Aztecan city.
“Mexico is full of passion and energy, and you can feel it from the moment you arrive,” says Stuart. “Our mission with Distil Your World Mexico was to encapsulate this passion and energy in the whisky, and is what fueled our exploration of The Macallan’s inventory to find just the right flavors to reflect Mexico.”
It is a marvelous if not strange concept, a timeline in whisky diversity which only The Macallan can do.
