The Macallan Year of the Pig Limited Edition Scotch Whisky 2019

The Macallan Year of the Pig Limited Edition Scotch Whisky 2019

The Macallan has revealed stunning new limited edition packaging for the Double Cask 12 Years Old expression to celebrate the forthcoming Lunar New Year, as the Year of the Pig beckons. Now in the second year of this collectible, limited release, The Macallan Lunar New Year package joins the annual series to commemorate the zodiac on the Chinese calendar.

Featuring two bottles of The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old, the packaging features striking red and gold accents while the liquid remains the same, quality example of exceptional single malt.

Taking design inspiration from one of The Macallan’s iconic Six Pillars, each beautiful gift box shines a light on the Curiously Small Stills through a beautiful illustration in honor of this festive celebration. Recognized as a major focus on the Lunar calendar and one of the most significant and meaningful holidays globally, the Chinese-inspired artistic reimagining of the stills provides a beautiful canvas from which to acknowledge this occasion.
