Macallan Edition No.6
Inspired by the natural wonders of The Macallan Estate.
The Edition Series
The Macallan Edition No.6 is a celebration of the stunning landscapes surrounding The Macallan distillery. This exceptional whisky is inspired by the vibrant River Spey, which flows alongside the estate. The River Spey is not only a natural marvel but also a crucial part of The Macallan’s heritage.
Tales of the Macallan River
Edition No. 6 is the final release in The Macallan Edition series. It draws inspiration from the River Spey and The Macallan Estate, where every cask of this exquisite whisky matures. Steven Bremner, The Macallan Whisky Maker, selected five distinct cask types to create this whisky. Each cask tells a unique story, contributing to a rich, multifaceted flavor profile.
The American and European oak casks impart a complex character to Edition No. 6. This results in a whisky that boasts a rich brass color, layered aromas, and deep, rewarding flavors. The River Spey, known for its wild Atlantic salmon, is integral to the narrative of this whisky. The Macallan Ghillie, guardian of the river, plays a vital role in preserving its wildlife.
