Blooming meadows,flourishing rivers and centuries-old farmhouses are the signatures of a wild Scotland. This is a place where natural resources thrive,a landscape that defines The Macallan brand,and where Stella and Mary McCartney hold precious memories from their youth.
It’s therefore no surprise to see that innovative craftsmanship,shared kinship with Scotland and respect for the natural world is the focus of a new collaboration between The Macallan and the McCartney sisters.

THE MACALLAN
The Macallan is known for honouring generations of Scotland’s flourishing landscape and history - and this collection is no different. The third release in The Harmony Collection features two whiskies –‘Amber Meadow’and ‘Green Meadow’–which embody the country's natural landscape, with an emphasis on its ethereal meadows and barley fields conjured from the sisters’ early memories. Stella and Mary spent peaceful days on the Scottish coast in their youth, inspired by the forests, the sea and the wide-open spaces.
THE MACALLAN
Each whisky, created by whisky maker Steven Bremner, has its own unique tasting notes, ABV and identity, mirroring the dual creative forces of Stella and Mary McCartney. Touch and organic craftsmanship define this collection, with each bottle taking inspiration from Scotland and The Macallan estate to create two distinctive limited edition whiskies, using a combination of sherry seasoned oak and bourbon casks.

Meanwhile, the handmade pieces in the TOGETHER Collection, which includes a pair of glass tumblers, a lambswool blanket, a ceramic flask with apple leather sleeve, brass napkin weights, a set of three ceramic bowls and six ceramic coasters, have symbolic significance and act as art pieces as well as lifestyle pieces. The glass tumblers, for example, have been designed with circular bottoms and square tops, symbolising Mary’s perspective as a photographer and Stella’s pivotal influence in the circular world of fashion and sustainability.
Each napkin weight is cast from molten brass in a bespoke, handcrafted mould and is a tribute to the exceptional oak casks in which The Macallan matures its whisky. Many of the pieces feature a bespoke logo that represents the collaboration between the McCartney sisters and The Macallan.
Each item has been realised by master artisans and craftspeople with generations of experience, using natural raw ingredients, from wool to apple leather. The McCartneys share a passion for sustainability and pride themselves on working with the world's best craftspeople to create pieces infused with care,innovation and respect.
