The Spirit of the River
The Macallan Edition No. 6 is the concluding release in the annual Edition Series, inspired by the majestic River Spey. This expression was created to honor the river that provides the water for every bottle of Macallan and serves as the lifeblood of the estate. The bottling was developed in collaboration with Hardy, the world-renowned fly-fishing brand, and the Atlantic Salmon Trust to highlight the importance of conservation.
Cask Selection & Complexity
Master Whisky Maker Steven Bremner selected five distinct cask types to create a profile that mirrors the depth and energy of the river. The maturation process utilizes a unique combination of American and European oak Sherry-seasoned casks:
-
Tevasa & Jose y Miguel Martin Casks: Providing a foundation of rich dried fruit and spice.
-
Vasyma & J&M Martin American Oak: Adding layers of sweet vanilla and toffee.
-
Hogsheads & Butts: Ensuring a balanced, full-bodied texture.
Official Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Rich fresh fruits, nutmeg, and ginger, accompanied by chocolate, toffee, and a hint of wild flowers.
-
Palate: Plum and sweet orange open into layers of cinnamon and nutmeg. Heavy oak notes are balanced by creamy chocolate and toasted oats.
-
Finish: Long and fruity, turning into a warming peat-free spice and a lingering chocolatey silkiness.
