Macallan whiskey Edition 1

Bottled at 48%, Macallan Edition No. 1 Made from a mix of sherry and bourbon oak-matured whisky, the luxurious dram is equal parts sweet and spicy, with hints of coffee beans, cocoa, and dried fruit. Nectarean in every regard. Macallan Edition 1 is the debut expression in the Edition Series. It celebrates The Macallan’s unparalleled oak cask management policy that oversees the entire process from wood sourcing to finished, seasoned, cask. Showcasing the influence of The Macallan’s exceptional oak casks in the flavor of the whisky, the result is a bold single malt drawn from eight of the finest European and American oak cask styles and sizes. Macallan Edition Sherry-seasoned and aged to perfection before being combined to create this rich and multidimensional whisky, the character of each cask style lives within the whisky itself.

This is the first release of what is going to be an annual limited edition from the Macallan Distillery. However, a special selection of oak casks will be handpicked to be crafted into an Edition each year, and Edition No.1 was introduced in 2015.

In Conclusion, Macallan defines their unique art of whisky making through an unusual spectrum of selected casks for Edition No.1. This distinctive high-quality single malt is made from whiskies aged in eight different styles of European and American oak casks, and each cask was chosen by the Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno, with the idea to create a rich and complex whisky. Finally, matured in 58% Butts, 23% Hogshead, and 19% Puncheon casks, it delivers a palate that is light and soft and finishes rich and dark.
