Macallan Edition No.6

The Macallan Edition No. 6 is one of the final releases in the celebrated Edition series from the renowned Macallan Distillery. This expression is inspired by the stunning natural surroundings of the distillery, particularly the River Spey, which plays a vital role in Macallan's whisky production. The whisky is crafted from a combination of six different cask types of European and American oak, carefully chosen to deliver a rich, complex flavor experience. The Edition No. 6 pays homage to the unique harmony between nature and craftsmanship that makes Macallan so iconic.
