Description
The latest offering from The Macallan’s revered Distil Your World collection, Mexico City captures a sensorial journey through one of Mexico’s most joyful celebrations, the Day of the Dead festival. The limited edition is bottled at 48% abv. Illustrator Alfredo Rios has created a piece of artwork for the pack, which brings to life some of the key cultural elements central to the Mexican festival. These include the Marigold flower, which symbolise a hope of being reunited with loved ones as their aroma is thought to attract the souls who have passed.
On the nose, we find aromas of sugared pan de muerto bread, creamy vanilla, sweet pineapple, fragrant marigold flowers and a hint of fresh green coriander. The intensely sweet palate brings flavours of orange oil and chocolatey Mexican mole with charred pineapple, before a finish with hints of charred coals.
