The Natural Color decanter has been designed by the legendary French crystal house LALIQUE, exclusively for TheMacallan. The Macallan 55 Years Old in LALIQUE is a limited edition decanter with only 420 being produced, each individually numbered and available in selected boutiques in the USA, UK, Asia and Russia. Its delicate gradation ofcolour and artful curvature makes it a vessel worthy of holding such a rare and unique Scotch whisky.

Guillaume Gauthereau, president and CEO LALIQUE North America explains: "We are delighted to be working with the world's finest single malt as it has given us the opportunity to design a series of decanters which reflect all the best attributes of our brand - creativity, heritage and craftsmanship. The Natural Colour decanter was created by our design team in Paris and is based on the classic Paquerettes tiara perfume bottle designed by Rene Lalique in 1910. It is a mix of masculine and feminine shapes and the stopper is made in amber coloured crystal, one of the most difficultcolours for crystal makers to achieve."

Handcrafted at LALIQUE's factory in Wingen-sur-Moder, the Alsace region of northern France, each piece filters through the hands of up to 25 craftsmen, many of whom have attained the 'Meilleur ouvrier de France' – the Finest Craftsman of France Award. Each decanter bears the esteemed 'Lalique France' signature which symbolizes authenticity and over 100 years of creativity, heritage and craftsmanship and comes in a specially designed leather and silk presentation box, with a crystal stopper and a leather-bound collectors guide detailing the craftsmanship that has gone into producing this beautiful objet d'art.

The timeless reputation of The Macallan is founded upon Six Pillars:

The Spiritual Home

Easter Elchies House proudly watches over The Macallan distillery in Speyside, Scotland. Built in 1700, this Jacobean manor house is The Macallan's spiritual home.

Curiously Small Stills

The Macallan's curiously small and uniquely shaped copper stills help to concentrate the flavor of the 'new make' spirit.

The Finest Cut

The 'cut' is the amount of distilled spirit collected from the stills as 'new make' spirit. The Macallan takes one of the ?nest 'cuts' of any distillery in Scotland, typically just 16% goes forward to fill or our casks.

Exceptional Oak Casks

The Macallan's unfaltering obsession with selecting exceptional oak casks brings an unsurpassed, timeless quality to The Macallan.

Natural Color

Natural colour is something The Macallan insists upon. It is the interaction of spirit and wood alone which delivers the rich variety of colour, aroma and taste evident through out the range.

Peerless Spirit

The Macallan remains the single malt against which all others must be judged. It is celebrated far and wide by experts and discerning drinkers as the world's most precious whisky.
