Guardian Oak is part of the fourth release in an annual series from Macallan titled The Harmony Collection, which focuses on their own area of expertise and mastery which is represented by oak. This release of the Harmony Collection, Vibrant Oak and Guardian Oak, is a unique collaboration with Cirque du Soleil celebrating 200 years of The Macallan. Cirque du Soleil's world-renowned circus shows inspire change through creativity and art. In perfect harmony, The Macallan and Cirque du Soleil combine their crafts to present this enchanting Collection.
Guardian Oak is a travel exclusive release, matured in a combination of first fill sherry seasoned European oak casks and refill sherry casks. Guardian Oak is a reminder of the importance of both the connection with our natural environment and of preserving it. The beautiful illustration features a human figure – Davonna, intricately intertwined within the branches of a European oak tree. This design emphasises the importance of the connection between the natural world and human experience. It conveys the life and wonder that bloom when humans are “In Harmony with nature.”
