Product Overview

How to Enjoy

Enjoy The Macallan Intense Arabica neat in a quality whisky glass to experience its full depth and complexity. Allow the whisky to rest for several minutes before tasting so its espresso, chocolate and dried-fruit aromas can fully develop.

A few drops of water may be added to open the whisky and reveal additional layers of vanilla, blackberry and sweet oak. For the signature experience, serve it alongside freshly brewed dark-roast coffee or Ethiopian Arabica coffee. The Macallan specifically recommends exploring the expression with Harrar or Guji coffee beans, whose robust and fruit-forward characteristics complement the whisky’s flavor profile. (The Macallan)

It also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, tiramisu, chocolate-covered espresso beans, roasted nuts or a rich after-dinner dessert.
