A CELEBRATION OF MACALLAN'S WHISKEY HERITAGE
The fourth edition in this innovative annual series, Edition No.4, expresses the craftsmanship and cutting-edge design of the new Macallan distillery and demonstrates the mastery of whiskey making since 1824.
As they enter an exciting new era, this limited edition marks the coming together of our history and new horizons in the creation of two structural masterpieces: a remarkable whiskey and a magnificent new distillery.
Like previous releases, there is transparency in Edition No.4 as it continues to explore The Macallan's approach to whiskey making, showcasing the skills of their whiskey makers and revealing the special role oak casks play in the creation of The Macallan.
With each cask bringing different dimensions and giving its own influence, this single malt delivers surprising aromas and character.
Made from a combination of European and American oak casks, Edition No.4 presents a piquant, lively and invigorating single malt with rounded honey, sweet caramel and citrus fruits.
This is a distinctive whiskey that pushes the boundaries of our innovation and reflects the passion, tradition and craftsmanship that goes into the art of selecting the perfect cask.

Bold and rounded honey with a sweet apple note.
Orange peel follows a background of ginger and nutmeg. Robust, polished, matured oak finally contrasts with the subtle green wood and oral undertones.
TASTE
Nutmeg with wood spices and green cloves opens immediately, with a calm after the intense beginning, leaving a sweet and vanilla viscous mouthfeel.
