The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world.
No 1
This lot is the first release in a new annual limited release. The Macallan Edition No. 1 is made from whisky aged in eight different styles of European and American oak casks to emphasize Macallan's mastery of wood.
48% ABV / 70cl
No 2
Edition No.2 is a collaboration between master blender Bob Dalgarno and legendary Spanish chefs Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca, of El Cellar De Can Roca, twice voted Best Restaurant in the World.
The distinctive and dynamic character of Edition No.2 has been shaped not only by the use of seven exceptional oak cask types from four different bodegas but by the creative spirit of each of the four collaborators; combining flavours to reflect each of their distinctive personalities in the resulting whisky.
48.2% ABV / 70cl
No 3
The distinctive and dynamic character of Edition No.3 has been shaped not only by the use of European and American Oak casks, combining flavours to reflect each of their distinctive personalities in the resulting whisky.
48.3% ABV / 70cl
Concept Number 1
In 2018, Macallan released the first in their Concept series; a limited annual release celebrating bold visionaries who dare to think beyond traditional boundaries. This series joins the Rare Cask and Quest collections as a travel retail exclusive.
Number 1 is inspired by surrealist art - with the label depicting the Macallan Six Pillars in the style of surrealism - which is apparently echoed through the innovation of their slightly different maturation process in the production of this release.
Cask Type: Sherry Oak Casks followed by an equal time in Ex-Bourbon Casks
40% ABV / 70cl
