The Macallan Harmony Collection new release: Inspired By Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea and Inspired By Organic Cherrywood Lapsang Tea

Two Exquisite New Releases Inspired by JING Tea

The Macallan introduces two new limited edition single malt whiskies in its renowned Harmony Collection, blending the world of fine whisky with the artistry of tea. The releases—Inspired By Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea and Inspired By Organic Cherrywood Lapsang Tea—are the result of a unique collaboration with JING Tea, a brand known for elevating tea experiences. These rare expressions are now available in select global markets and travel retail, offering whisky enthusiasts an immersive tasting journey.

Design and Presentation

Both editions are presented in packaging that celebrates ritual and heritage, aligning with The Macallan’s Six Pillars. The Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea edition features the Andalusian horse, a tribute to Jerez and the brand’s deep sherry connections. The Cherrywood Lapsang Tea version is adorned with the peacock, symbolizing The Macallan’s iconic natural colour—achieved without artificial additives. Inspired by ceremonial tea pets, the packaging narrates a visual story that bridges tea culture and whisky craftsmanship.

Maturation and Flavor Profile

The Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea expression is matured mainly in sherry-seasoned American oak casks, enriched with European oak and a delicate inclusion of ex-bourbon casks. This results in a floral, fruity character with sweet, roasted layers and a hint of dessert wine-like aroma, echoing the complexity of the tea that inspired it.

The Organic Cherrywood Lapsang Tea edition, a travel-exclusive launching in October 2025, is matured in both sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks. It reveals bold dark fruit and toffee notes, warming tannins, and a soft malty sweetness, finished with a wisp of smoke that mirrors the cherrywood-smoked tea leaves used in its tea counterpart.

Availability and Final Thoughts

Inspired By Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea is now available for €195.00 via The Macallan Estate, Online Boutique, and select global retailers.

Inspired By Organic Cherrywood Lapsang Tea will be available from October 2025 in The Macallan Global Boutiques and duty-free locations worldwide.

These limited edition single malt whiskies are not only collectible but also a celebration of collaboration between two masters of their craft. For collectors, connoisseurs, and tea lovers alike, The Macallan Harmony Collection continues to push boundaries while honoring tradition.
