What ABV is The Macallan Harmony Collection Inspired by Fresh Coconut?
The Macallan Harmony Collection Inspired by Fresh Coconut is bottled at 46.3% ABV, which is 92.6 US proof. The figure is printed on the bottle and stated by The Macallan. It is a fixed bottling strength for the release, not a cask-strength figure that varies from bottle to bottle, and the whisky carries no age statement.
Is The Macallan Harmony Collection Inspired by Fresh Coconut flavoured with coconut?
No. Scotch whisky regulations permit only water and spirit caramel colouring to be added after distillation, so no flavouring may be used, and this bottling also states natural colour on the label. The Macallan says the coconut character was drawn out by cask selection — American oak contributes coconut and vanilla notes of its own, and the whisky was matured in sherry-seasoned American oak together with casks that previously held bourbon.
What is the difference between Inspired by Fresh Coconut and Inspired by Toasted Coconut?
They are two separate whiskies released together as the final chapter of The Macallan Harmony Collection. Inspired by Fresh Coconut was matured in sherry-seasoned American oak and ex-bourbon casks and is sold through The Macallan's own channels and selected UK stockists. Inspired by Toasted Coconut brings virgin oak into the recipe and is sold through global travel retail. Specifications from one do not describe the other.
