Fashions come and go over time, but The Macallan continue creating timeless whiskies; top quality whiskies exceptionally well made using utmost care and the skills that few other distilleries can match. The new Edition nº5 is another example of the know-how of The Macallan, a splendid whisky at an excellent price.
The Macallan Edition nº5 is a homage to the diversity and complexity of the natural colours of The Macallan. The distillery has worked with the collaboration of the renowned Pantone Colour Institute who have created the special purple colour for the label, a complex shade to express the complex process of making a The Macallan whisky.
The Macallan Edition nº5 is a structured whisky continuing the line of other unique single malts they have created. As with their other whiskies, transparency is key here too as well as a focus on its production, the skills of the "Whisky Maker", and the significant role the oak ageing has on the final result: 525 American oak casks of five different types, each one chosen for the colour and aromatic depth they provide. An excellent whisky with spicy hints and rich intense aromas.
Naso piuttosto caldo su note di pellame, fichi, caramello. Bocca più equilibrata e compatta. Una buona versione di questa serie, probabilmente superiore alla 4.
