Macallan Edition No 4

The fourth instalment of Macallan's limited Edition series, created in collaboration with a master perfumer to explore how cask and aromatic wood shape flavour, now a discontinued and sought-after release.

Bold, rounded honey and toffee apple lead the nose with orange zest, ginger and nutmeg; the palate brings nutmeg, wood spice and green clove over a vanilla-coated body, finishing drier with black pepper, oak and dark chocolate.
