Macallan Edition No.1
Macallan Edition No. 1 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the first release in a new annual limited released from the esteemed distillery. Macallan Edition No. 1 is made from whisky aged in eight different styles of European and American oak casks. Each cask was chosen by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno, with the idea to create a rich and complex whisky.
As a result of the eight different casks, The Macallan Edition No. 1 has a rich aroma of vanilla and caramel. The palate brings more warmth, spice and complexity, with continued creamy richness throughout, leading to a long and smooth finish filled with cinnamon, allspice and a hint of chocolate.

Comment: The Macallan Edition No. 1 is an expression that is far closer to the brand's traditional offerings when compared to the more savory Edition 2 or the brighter Edition 3. But it is nonetheless exceptional, and is undeniably an elevation beyond The Macallan 12 Year old.
The excellent taste of The Macallan Edition No. 1 remains present longer than perhaps any other whisky I have tried - as opposed to the aftertaste/finish taking over shortly after swallowing. This whisky presents as relatively viscous, which may play a part in its taste experience.
