The Macallan Edition No.4 is the fourth release in the distinguished Edition Series from The Macallan, a renowned Speyside distillery. Bottled in 2018, this single malt Scotch whisky celebrates Macallan's rich whisky-making heritage and showcases a unique selection of oak cask styles. The creation of Edition No.4 highlights the craftsmanship and innovative design of the new Macallan Distillery, which opened in the same year.
This well-balanced dram is meticulously crafted to highlight the best qualities of each cask type selected for the whisky. It is developed from a combination of European and American oak casks, featuring refill butts and hogsheads, as well as butts, puncheons, and hogsheads specifically from Vasmya, Diego Martin, Jose y Miguel Martin, and Tevasa.
The whisky offers a rounded aroma of honey and sweet toffee, complemented by an intense burst of nutmeg wood spices on the palate. It delivers a powerful and invigorating mouthfeel, reminiscent of standing atop the new distillery and feeling the Speyside breeze. The carefully selected sherry-seasoned oak casks imbue the whisky with unique, refreshing qualities, resulting in an unforgettable tasting experience.
This limited edition release, with an ABV of 48.4% and a bottle size of 700ml, was made available worldwide, with 300,000 bottles produced. It was also offered to Edrington and Maxxium colleagues to celebrate the distillery's opening. The Macallan Edition No.4 is presented in a special gift set that includes two branded Macallan whisky glasses, a distillery-exclusive hip flask, and a Macallan tote bag. Some editions also feature a signed, limited edition distillery print by Magnum Photographer Paolo Pellegrin.
