The Macallan Distillers is one of the most renowned whisky distilleries in the world, known for its exceptional single malt whiskies since its foundation in 1824. Located in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside, The Macallan is characterised by its unparalleled dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The Macallan’s philosophy centres on the perfect combination of wood and distillates. Every stage of production, from the selection of malted barley to maturation in hand-selected oak casks, is monitored with the utmost care. The Master of Wood and the Whisky Mastery Team ensure that every cask meets the highest standards.
The Macallan Edition No. 4 is part of Macallan’s famous Edition series, where the influence on the whisky is demonstrated through maturation in different casks. While the previous three editions in the series highlighted the impact on aroma and flavour through the choice of casks, Master Distiller Nick Savage selected seven different cask types for Edition No. 4 to reveal the structure of the whisky.
Refill butts and refill hogsheads made from American and European oak, Vasyma hogsheads and Diego Martin Rosado butts (sherry casks), Jose Y Miguel Martin butts and Tevasa butts/puncheons (sherry and Werder casks) and Tevasa hogsheads were used for the maturation. The careful selection and combination of these cask types reveals the complex structure and depth of the whisky, giving Edition No. 4 a unique and varied flavour experience.
