The Macallan Unveils Collaboration to Celebrate Launch of “Inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea”

Premium liquor import and distribution company DNP Spirits, led by CEO Noh Dongkyu, is presenting a special cocktail collaboration with leading bars in Seoul to celebrate the launch of The Macallan single malt whisky brand's fifth journey in The Harmony Collection, "Inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea."

"Inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea" is an edition inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea, traditionally produced in the Fenghuangshan region of Guangdong, China. It is characterized by delicately translating the tea's vibrant floral aroma, fruitiness, and subtle honey nuances into whisky. Through maturation in European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks and a portion of bourbon casks, it achieves a complex flavor profile in which notes of peach, floral aromas, and sweet honey nuances harmoniously intertwine. It is another expression of the value pursued by The Macallan Harmony Collection: "a balance between inspiration drawn from nature and craftsmanship."

This collaboration has been designed to allow guests to experience limited-time signature cocktails created by seven bars across Seoul, each offering its own interpretation inspired by the new release. Based on the bright and elegant aromas and complex flavors of "Inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea," bartenders will present cocktails that sensuously explore the harmony between whisky and tea.

The event will run for about two weeks from February 23 to March 8, with a total of seven venues participating: The Timber House at Park Hyatt Seoul in Gangnam; Tea & Proof in Yangjae; Graz in Gyodae; Engine Room and The Booze in Hannam; Malt Bar Mori in Seongsu; and Boisins at Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery in Mapo. While all participating venues start from the same product, they will offer distinct cocktail experiences by reflecting each space's unique atmosphere and bartending style.

This event goes beyond a product launch to become a collaborative project completed through the meeting of whisky, tea, and the creative interpretations of bartenders. By using cocktails as a medium, it naturally conveys the value of "Harmony" pursued by The Macallan Harmony Collection, while offering consumers an opportunity to experience a new side of the brand.
