Tasting notes
The Macallan Edition 4 was initially launched to celebrate the opening of the venerable producer’s £140 million rebuild. The limited-edition bottling is produced from a remarkable array of casks from the distillery’s extensive warehouses. Master Distiller Nick Savage selected a combination of European and American oak refill casks, and butts and puncheons from the finest Sherry bodegas including Vasyma, Diego Martin, José y Miguel Martin and Tevasa. The resulting liquid is a marriage of old and new – perfectly balanced with classically sherried Macallan characteristics.

Seven types of European and American oak casks were used for maturation. Lively on the nose, with orange, malt, sherry, and sweet oak. Initially, a touch hot on the palate, with sherry and cloves, then toffee and vanilla, red apples, figs, and cocoa. The finish is medium to long, with spicy sherry.
