The Macallan Edition No. 5 is a limited edition whisky that celebrates the spectrum of natural color found in the Macallan's whisky. This expression is the 5th release in the Edition Series and is a tribute to the diversity and complexity of natural color. The Macallan has partnered with the Pantone Color Institute to create a unique and exquisite shade of purple, which is featured on the label and presentation box.
Distilled in the renowned Speyside region at the Macallan distillery, this whisky is 100% natural in color, shaped by time spent in the best casks, where it matures, nurtures, and develops its character. The palate is fresh and sweet, with caramel, poached peaches, and ripe pear, followed by toffee sweetness and light oak spices in the form of nutmeg and hints of ginger.
The Macallan Edition No. 5 is a marriage of exclusively American casks, including first fill bourbon barrels, second fill hogsheads and butts, first fill Tevasa hogsheads, first fill Vasyma butts, and first fill Hudosa hogsheads and butts. Each cask contributes its own distinct natural hue, which is brought to life by the exquisite combination of purple on the packaging.
This whisky is a celebration of the Macallan's commitment to natural color and the intricate whisky-making process. It is a must-have for collectors and whisky enthusiasts who appreciate the art of whisky-making and the beauty of natural color.
The ABV (Alcohol by Volume) of Macallan Edition No. 5 is 48.5%.
