The Macallan Harmony Collection Jing
The Macallan Harmony Collection Jing — "Inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea" — is a 43.9% ABV (87.8 proof), 750mL no-age-statement Speyside single malt Scotch whisky — the fifth release in The Macallan's Harmony Collection, crafted in collaboration with JING tea and matured predominantly in sherry-seasoned American oak with European oak and ex-bourbon — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
The Harmony Collection looks beyond the world of spirits for flavor inspiration — and its fifth chapter turns to tea. JING, curators of some of the world's most distinctive single-garden teas, inspired this expression with Phoenix Honey Orchid — a rare oolong grown in the mist-cloaked elevations of Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong, China, famed for lush dessert-wine aromas and exotic floral fruit. The whisky mirrors it: a lighter, more aromatic Macallan than the house's traditional European-oak style, with sherry-seasoned American oak carrying the floral-fruit character, European oak adding roasted depth, and a touch of ex-bourbon echoing the tea's dessert-wine sweetness. The presentation continues the Collection's sustainability thread — the gift box is crafted from repurposed waste tea leaves.
Tasting notes (official Macallan notes): nose of summery peach and apricot with the heady sweetness of floral honey, intertwined with tropical fruits, toffee, and sweet oak; a palate of fresh peaches in rich syrup, warm citrus, and toffee with light floral notes leading to a delicate leafy astringency; a fruity, sweet, and complex finish.
Why buy: The Harmony Collection releases are Macallan's annual limited editions — never repeated once gone — and this is the most aromatic, floral expression the series has produced. A tea-and-whisky collaboration that actually works, in packaging collectors keep. Explore more The Macallan and browse more Scotch whisky and whiskey at Del Mesa Liquor.
