Celebrating a shared passion for creativity and nature, the expressions, The Tree of Life by The Macallan and Art is the Flower, draw inspiration from Mackintosh’s iconic 1902 stained-glass panel, The Spirit of the Rose.
At the centre of the collection is a 46-year-old single malt, matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks from 1979 and presented in a handcrafted Lalique decanter with a rose-shaped crystal stopper.
Limited to just 112 decanters globally, it reflects a pivotal time in Mackintosh’s life when he sought creative renewal through nature.
Art is the Flower, matured in European oak, showcases a bold character with notes of fig, raisin and cherry.
It echoes Mackintosh’s deep appreciation for natural forms and artistic expression.
A documentary film series accompanies the release, featuring designers and historians, including Christopher Kane, exploring Mackintosh’s influence on modern creativity.
