The Macallan Distil Your World: Hong Kong Single Malt Scotch Whisky
700ml | 45.5% ABV | Natural Color | Non-Chill Filtered | Limited 2021 Release

A Liquid Portrait of Hong Kong

The Macallan Distil Your World series invites you to experience cities through whisky. This Hong Kong edition, crafted with the Roca Brothers of El Celler de Can Roca, captures the city’s vibrant contrasts—its street markets, neon lights, and serene temples. Consequently, it blends bold spice with delicate citrus, mirroring Hong Kong’s dynamic soul. Moreover, it’s a true fusion of Scottish whisky-making and global gastronomy.

Crafted Through Culinary Exploration

The Roca Brothers spent days exploring Hong Kong—tasting dim sum, sipping milk tea, walking night markets—before collaborating with The Macallan’s whisky makers. In fact, the Macallan Distil Your World Hong Kong expression was built to reflect those flavors: ginger, Sichuan pepper, yuzu, and roasted nuts, all woven into a rich sherry-cask foundation.

Complex, Spicy, and Deeply Layered

Bottled at 45.5% ABV, this whisky delivers intensity with elegance. As a result, it layers dried orange, ginger, and dark chocolate over cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of smoke. Additionally, the use of multiple cask types creates a velvety texture that evolves with every sip.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals tangerine, gingerbread, and vanilla, followed by Sichuan pepper, nutmeg, and a hint of leather. Then, subtle notes of roasted almond and dark honey emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is rich and full. Flavors of spiced plum, dark chocolate, candied peel, and oak spice unfold with precision. The alcohol feels integrated, adding warmth and structure.

Finally, the finish is long and warming—ginger, dried fruit, and a whisper of sea breeze. Altogether, it’s a bold and evocative dram that embodies the spirit of this Macallan Distil Your World.
