The Macallan Distil Your World: Hong Kong is a rare, limited-edition single malt crafted to capture the essence, flavors, and cultural vibrancy of Hong Kong. Part of The Macallan’s acclaimed “Distil Your World” series, this expression reflects the city’s blend of heritage, modern energy, and rich culinary identity.
Matured in a selection of sherry-seasoned European oak hogsheads and American oak casks, this whisky showcases a beautifully layered profile — balancing tropical sweetness, warm spice, and refined oak character. Bottled at 46.8% ABV, it displays a deep golden color reminiscent of Hong Kong’s glowing skyline at dusk.
Tasting Notes
Nose:
Aromatic waves of ginger, cinnamon, and warm spice rise first, followed by tropical fruit notes such as mango, pomelo, and citrus zest. Hints of buttery pastry, honey, and old oak add depth and elegance.
Palate:
Luxuriously smooth and richly textured. Flavors of ripe tropical fruit blend with warming ginger, star anise, and subtle five-spice character. Layers of antique oak, caramelized sugar, and a gentle savory undertone create remarkable balance and complexity.
Finish:
Long, warm, and refined. Lingering notes of spiced ginger, dried fruit, polished oak, and a soft sweetness that gradually fades into a clean, elegant conclusion.
Overall Character
