Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich amber with warm copper tones — the final Edition expression
Nose
Rich and complex — dried fruit, dark chocolate, and toffee. Orange zest, vanilla, and warm oak. Cinnamon, ginger, and hints of dried flowers. The final chapter celebrating the river Spey and Macallan's natural environment
Palate
Full-bodied. Rich dried fruit, dark chocolate, and toffee layered with orange zest, vanilla, and warm sherry. Oak spice, cinnamon, and ginger. Hints of dried flowers and honey. A fitting conclusion to the Edition series — complex, balanced, and characteristically Macallan
Finish
Long, generous finish. Dried fruit, chocolate, and warm spice linger with honey, oak, and gentle floral notes. A final Edition worthy of the series
