Edrington Global Travel Retail has launched a limited edition expression of Macallan Rare Cask Black in collaboration with US photographer Steven Klein.

Although the sherry cask-matured Macallan Rare Cask Black Scotch whiskey remains the same, the presentation box has received a makeover, reported thespiritsbusiness.com.

Besides showcasing a new project from the photographer, the pack features an Ice Baller Double of WinterSmiths.

An Ice Baller Double is a device that creates spheres of ice.

Edrington Global Travel Retail managing director Tellis Baroutsis was quoted by the website as saying: “Rare Cask Black has clearly made its mark since launch last year.

“It has captured people’s imagination around the world with its distinctive look and unexpected flavour.

"By releasing a limited edition of Rare Cask Black, married with the challenging vision of Steven Klein and ‘at home’ ice baller, we believe this is a truly compelling combination.”

Made of a blend of oak, nutmeg, ginger, dried fruits, dates, raisins, and figs, Rare Cask Black derives its flavour from peat smoke, reported dfnionline.com.

The drink is also claimed to have oak notes, and comes with a fruity finish and wood smoke.

The non-chill filtered, limited edition Rare Cask Black carries 48% alcohol by volume, and only 5,000 bottles are available at global travel-retail outlets at select airports.
