The Macallan launches Carta Nautica, a new travel-retail-exclusive range, with the 20-year-old lead expression (42% ABV, USD 800) debuting at Singapore's Changi Airport. It undergoes 'transatlantic maturation' — first in sherry-seasoned oak from Jerez, then in ex-American-bourbon casks. A bespoke Changi window runs to 18 October 2026 before wider global travel-retail rollout.

Travel retail keeps becoming Scotch whisky's innovation playground — an exclusive range built on reversed cask maturation shows how airport shoppers get first access to the category's experiments.
