Scottish coffee roaster, Lisa Lawson, said: "Today, people have a greater understanding of coffee, they know the vocabulary, they know what they like, and with whisky it's the same. Whisky goes well with coffee - it comes at the end of a meal and it's natural for whisky and coffee flavors to sit together." You may also have seen or heard about the Harmony Collection expressions “ Fine Cacao” and “ Smooth Arabica”. These are variations on the same themes, but produced exclusively for the Travel Retail market.

The Macallan Harmony Collection II is the second set of bottles in The Macallan Harmony Collection. This series aims to capture certain flavours, and that’s been reflected in what you can get from them, including chocolate and coffee. This second part of the collection is made up of The Macallan Harmony Inspired by Intense Arabica and The Macallan Harmony Smooth Arabica. These bottles are inspired by and supposedly taste like arabica coffee. We’ve yet to give them a go ourselves, but we’re inclined to believe Macallan because it’s far too big a company to outright lie to fans.

As part of the Sydney media launch for this release, attendees gathered at the Genovese Coffee House in Alexandria, where guests were treated to a wee presentation about the history and traditions of coffee and, in particular, the features of the Arabica bean and Ethiopia’s coffee heritage. Simon James of Genovese Coffee prepared up a specially-brewed pot of Arabica coffee (French Press, 1 part coffee to 14.5 parts water, for the coffee enthusiasts out there), and it didn’t take much imagination to join the dots between the delicious aromas wafting out of the steaming cup and the juicy dram of Intense Arabica sitting alongside.

To create the coffee-inspired second edition of The Harmony Collection, I sought out intense notes in The Macallan's traditional sherry seasoned European oak casks that would offer the rich and satisfying elements of coffee, with the influence of sherry seasoned American oak casks adding sweeter and softer vanilla notes for a balanced and rounded experience.

Finish: Medium in length, the finish is grippy and delivers a second wave of favour that really brings home the bacon…er…coffee. The lasting footprint is a perfectly balanced sensation of bitter-sweet, like dark chocolate, or a well-prepared coffee that has inherent sweetness to contrast the bean. Palate: Macallan’s DNA never strays too far from centre. This is a rich dram with a wonderfully textured mouthfeel that is surprisingly complex in the flavours it offers up. There’s cereal (malt, obviously, but also oats, ala porridge); spice (gingerbread); and then bittersweet notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and tiramisu.Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
