The Macallan No. 5 & No. 6 Limited Edition Collection Pack 700mL
The Macallan No. 5 Limited Edition 700mL
The Macallan Edition No. 5 is an own homage to the diversity and complexity of natural colour. Inspired by a coming together of whisky making mastery and colour expertise and insight, this single malt celebrates both The Macallan’s commitment to natural colour and the intricate whisky making process.
The Macallan Edition No.6 Limited Edition 700mL
With this sixth edition, The Macallan is completing its Edition series of intensely coloured limited releases with a heavy sherry influence. It is a combination of five types of sherry seasoned casks (hogsheads and butts) from different cooperages, both American and European oak. Matured in a combination of European and American oak hogsheads and butts, this is a fruity, spicy single malt with notes of fresh fruits, nutmeg, ginger, chocolate, toffee, and vanilla on the palate, with hints of oak spice lingering in the finish.
With an unflinching commitment to put sherry casks at the heart of The Macallan single malt, their reputation for the extraordinary is testament to the exceptional oak casks in which they mature their spirit.
These hand-picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of The Macallan Master Distiller and his team. Once filled, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed in the same casks for the necessary number of years it needs to be worthy of its destined Macallan expression. It is these oak casks that make the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours which lie at the heart of The Macallan single malt.

The Macallan No.5 Tasting Notes:
Colour: Sunlight Barley
Aroma: Vanilla and toffee with notes of oak, nutmeg, ginger, lemon basil and pear
Palate: Fresh and sweet with caramel moving into poached peaches and ripe pear. Quickly followed by a toffee sweetness with light oak spices in the form of nutmeg and hints of ginger in the background
Finish: Long and sweet
The Macallan No.6 Tasting Notes:
Nose: deep toffee notes and caramelized nuts alongside Ovaltine and Weetabix. Raisins and a little mocha. Gingerbread. There’s some active, spicy oak behind this, showing baking spices like cinnamon and ginger. Although there’s some plummy sweetness, I’m always missing red fruits in whiskies like this, which go nuts (ha) on things like caramel and chocolate
Mouth: more caramel coated nuts (almonds, hazelnuts) with a peppery warmth. Cinnamon pastry and chocolate. Soaked toasted oats. Sticky toffee pudding. Some oranges and plums in the background, but still dominated by hints of cocoa and some roasted coffee beans
Finish: medium, with drying spice (nutmeg), some leafy notes and cocoa
