The Macallan, founded in 1824, commemorates its 200th anniversary in 2024, marking an extraordinary legacy of incomparable craftsmanship and an innovative approach to single malt Scotch whisky. The brand unveiled a new '200 Years Young' logo in January, symbolizing The Macallan's evolved identity, merging its rich heritage with a celebration of the future.

As part of its bicentennial festivities, The Macallan in partnership with BCLIQUOR, will offer Canadians the rare opportunity to sample some of the world's most coveted single malt Scotch whiskies at a tasting event on March 14, 2024 at the 39th & Cambie BCLIQUOR store. Led by The Macallan Brand Specialist, Nils Schabert, whisky enthusiasts will explore The Macallan's classic and new releases, including:

  • The Macallan, Sherry Oak 12 Years Old is the signature expression of The Macallan's Sherry Oak Collection, a series with a higher percentage of European Oak sherry seasoned casks than American oak, transforming the rich, fruity and full bodied 'new-make' spirit into a classic single malt. A mature character, the 12 Years Old delivers rich wood spice and dried fruits and a natural rich gold colour.
  • The Macallan, Sherry Oak 18 Years Old showcases a full-bodied palate, characterized by mature oak, ginger, and raisin flavours, and complemented by a light mahogany hue.
  • The Macallan, Sherry Oak 25 Years Old is one of the most prized expressions amongst the Sherry Oak collection and the BCLIQUOR tasting, presenting a symphony of complex aromas and flavours, including dried fruit, sweet spice, pear, orange, honey, caramel, and a subtle hint of wood smoke.
  • The Macallan, The Harmony Collection Amber Meadow is the newest and third release in The Harmony Collection, a limited annual release series that brings new life to organic by-products which have ended their usual course. This distinctive expression was crafted in collaboration with Stella and Mary McCartney and takes inspiration from the Scottish Highlands, evoking wild meadows, with a vibrant, primrose-scented finish.
  • The Macallan, Classic Cut 2022 is matured in a unique combination of European and American oak casks, married to create an exceptional grapefruit flavour. The Classic Cut collection is a series of annual expressions that celebrate The Macallan's ongoing commitment to seek out the extraordinary and create whiskies of unique character.

Tickets for the tasting event are available for $150 at the 39th & Cambie BCLIQUOR customer service counter at 5555 Cambie Street, Vancouver.

All featured releases are available for purchase at BCLIQUOR, alongside The Macallan's most recent annual release, A Night on Earth – The Journey. Created in collaboration with acclaimed Chinese artist, Nini Sum, this release features innovative multi-layered packaging that provides an exceptional unboxing experience. This perfectly balanced expression is blended from first-fill American ex-bourbon barrels and European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks, bringing toasted oak effervescence and a hint of nuttiness to the forefront.

The Macallan Red Collection Draw

Inspired by the significance of the colour red throughout the brand's history, The Macallan Red Collection features carefully nurtured, precious whiskies by successive generations of The Macallan whisky makers, including ongoing aged expressions and high-aged guest releases, each encased in an exquisite oak presentation box upholstered with sustainably sourced soft, red leather from Scottish supplier Bridge of Weir Leather Company.

BCLIQUOR will offer customers a rare chance to purchase The Macallan Red Collection 40 Years Old and The Macallan Red Collection 78 Years Old. From Thursday, March 14th at 9 a.m. PST to Sunday, March 17th at 9 p.m. PST, visit the 39th & Cambie BCLIQUOR location for a chance to be drawn to purchase rare bottlings from The Macallan Red Collection.
