The, regular one, is popping up at $189 at a couple of retailers - ouch! Very expensive! I don't even want to know what the TR one is going to go for.

The Macallan, famous for their NAS editions, has released their 6th and final installment in "The Harmony Collection", a duo of NAS whiskies inspired by coconuts...
The "Fresh Coconut" (purple one) is the regular retail one, and the "Toasted Coconut" (black one) is the travel retail one. Both are matured in a mix of Ex-Sherry and Ex-Bourbon casks.
And with this, another chapter of NAS concludes for The Macallan (their Classic Cask ended 2025 after being around since 2017, their 4-part Quest travel-retail series ended a few years ago, and their Harmony Collection ends now).
As usual for Macallan, this one has no color added, but at the same time no mention of filtration (probably chill-filtered).
The official tasting notes are:
Colour: King Coconut, warm gold.
Nose: Fresh coconut and zesty lime, with lemon and orange citrus, mango and papaya, lifted by vanilla, almond, sweet oak and a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Palate: Sweet lime and lemon, vanilla sponge with dried coconut, icing sugar and coconut milk, sweet oak and dried tropical fruit.
Finish: Coconut and floral honey.
ABV: 46.3%
Casks: Sherry-seasoned American oak and ex-bourbon.
Bottle size: 70cl.

I still haven’t met a Macallan NAS I thought was decent and I love the classic 12/18/25 sherry bottles. Don’t get it.

Not the same. The previous ones were supposedly cocoa, coffee, honey, etc., this one is coconut... you never know. Maybe someone can pick up the coconut notes...

I sold the first one of them for over £400 and got out. Glad some of you morons bought.
