Description
The Macallan Distillery was founded by Alexander Reid who was a barley farmer and school teacher on a plateau above the river Spey in northeast Scotland. The Macallan was founded in 1824 and is one of the first distilleries in Scotland to operate legally with a license. The distillery’s traditional methods and craftsmanship along with the raw materials are influenced by Spain, North America and Scotland.
For centuries, during the quieter winter months, Speyside farmers in the area will use their surplus barley to make whisky. The area was originally named Magellan, which comes from the Gaelic word Magh which means fertile grounds and Ellan, from the Monk St.Fillan, who held a close association with the church that stood in The Macallan Estate until 1400.
The 4th Release of Macallan’s Edition Series. The Edition Series was created to show at heart, The Macallan’s desire to innovate. One of the fundamentals in the creation of all Macallan single malt is the oak casks and wood. The Edition Series seeks innovation by looking beyond the traditional casks styles used in the creation of the other Macallan whiskies.
Each year, a unique selection of casks, each with a special and distinctive character, are handpicked to create a new Edition that exemplifies the diversity of oak casks used in the maturation of The Macallan whiskies. Working together with partners from different fields of expertise, each release in the series is a true marriage of Macallan mastery and the unique influence from diverse backgrounds to the whisky-making process.
Macallan Edition No.4 is matured in a combination of European and American oak casks and bottled at 48.4% ABV.
