Macallan - Harmony Collection #5 (750ml)
The Macallan Harmony Collection #5, "Inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea," is praised for its unique floral, honey, peach, and citrus notes, deviating from classic rich Macallan profiles with dominant American oak and some European oak influence, offering a lighter, sweeter, and tea-inspired experience with a smooth, lingering finish, though some find it less bold or "boring" compared to other experimental releases, while still appreciating its innovation and pleasant taste.
