This fourth edition in the Archival Series from The Macallan is presented in a unique tin case, designed to look like a book, and includes a hardback book.

The advertisement featured in this edition includes a Strathspey composed by James Scott Skinner, known as "The Strathspey King". Skinner was inspired to create the music by the lilting flavor and melting resonances of his favorite malt whisky - The Macallan.
