The Story Behind Rich Cacao: A Collaboration of Craft

In this edition, Macallan Whisky Maker Polly Logan collaborated with acclaimed pastry chef Jordi Roca of the world-renowned El Celler de Can Roca. Driven by a shared obsession with flavor, the pair explored premium cacao sources to develop a whisky that echoes the layered richness of the world’s finest dark chocolate.

Their journey took them deep into the world of cocoa farming and artisanal chocolate making—leading to the creation of a whisky that encapsulates the full-bodied decadence of cacao in liquid form.

Whisky Profile: A Sensory Symphony

The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, which impart depth, spice, and sweet chocolate tones. From its aromatic complexity to its velvety finish, every aspect of this single malt tells a flavorful story.
