The Macallan Edition No.6 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky inspired by the picturesque landscape surrounding the Macallan distillery, particularly the River Spey. This is the sixth and final release in The Edition series of annual limited editions from The Macallan, bottled in 2020. The whisky is matured in a combination of European and American oak sherry butts and hogsheads, meticulously hand-picked by The Macallan Whisky Maker Steven Bremner. These casks were selected to create a multifaceted flavor profile, delivering a deep and rewarding experience. On the nose, Edition No.6 offers an enticing bouquet of fresh fruits, nutmeg, ginger, chocolate, toffee, vanilla, and oak. The palate reveals layers of ripe plum, orange, and cinnamon, developing into spicy fruits, creamy chocolate, and toasted oats in the finish. The whisky's rich brass natural color complements its appealing layers of aroma and flavor. Notably, The Macallan Edition No.6 is not only inspired by the River Spey but also supports the conservation of the endangered wild Atlantic salmon that inhabit the river. Macallan collaborates with the Atlantic Salmon Trust to raise awareness and contribute to vital conservation efforts. This limited edition celebrates the natural landscape and the inspiring River Spey, forming part of the Macallan estate and is the result of a collaboration with Hardy, paying homage to the unique environment. The Macallan distillery, located in the Speyside region, is renowned for its exceptional single malt Scotch whiskies. The Edition No.6 stands as a testament to Macallan's dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and environmental sustainability.
