The Architecture of Flavor
The Macallan Edition No. 4 is the fourth release in the innovative annual Edition Series. While Edition No. 3 focused on aroma, Edition No. 4 focuses on the “structure” of the whisky. It was crafted to celebrate the opening of the new Macallan distillery and visitor experience, reflecting the precision and modern design of this world-class facility.
The Mastery of Wood
Master Distiller Nick Savage hand-selected specific casks to create a profile that is both modern and rooted in tradition. This release highlights the influence of both European and American oak:
-
European Oak Casks (Tevasa, Jose y Miguel Martin, Diego Martin): Provides a rich, firm structure and deep dried fruit notes.
-
American Oak Casks (Vasyma): Adds a softer, sweeter layer of vanilla, toffee, and bright citrus.
Official Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Bold and zesty. Aromas of honey and sweet apple lead into notes of orange peel, ginger, and a hint of polished oak.
-
Palate: A powerful yet balanced palate. Initial sweetness of vanilla toffee and honey is followed by nutmeg, cloves, and a burst of citrus acidity.
-
Finish: Long and rewarding. A lingering sweetness of oak and wood spices that remains clean and dry.

Released in 2018, Edition No. 4 has quickly become a favorite among collectors due to its connection to the new distillery’s opening. Its distinctive green packaging and the unique bottling strength of 48.4% make it a vital part of completing the Macallan Edition Series.
