Not limited to the impressive bottle display, The Macallan Whisky Bar & Lounge has introduced a series of exclusive cocktails to commemorate The Macallan’s 200th anniversary. These specially crafted cocktails utilise the exquisite Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old and Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Years Old single malts. Visitors to Galaxy Macau can savour these unique libations, each thoughtfully designed to reflect distinct eras of The Macallan’s illustrious history.

Among the featured cocktails is the indulgent Macallan King Potion, which combines the Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old, showcasing citrus notes and a hint of honey, resulting in a harmonious blend of sweetness and complexity. Another standout creation is the Old Fashion, which incorporates the rich tones of Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Years Old, dark chocolate bitters, and a touch of cherry liqueur, resulting in an exceptionally velvety libation.

Additionally, the Rob Roy cocktail, using Macallan whisky as its base and expertly blending it with vermouth, offers a drink with unparalleled depth and character. These meticulously crafted cocktails serve as a testament to The Macallan’s legacy and its enduring commitment to producing the finest quality single malt Scotch whisky.
