The fourth release in this innovative annual Series, Macallan Edition No.4 embodies the craftsmanship and pioneering design of the new Macallan Distillery and demonstrates the mastery of whisky making since 1824. As the distillery enters an exciting new era, this limited edition marks the coming together of  Macallan's history and new horizons in the creation of two structural masterpieces: a remarkable whisky and a magnificent new distillery.

This is a distinctive whisky that pushes the boundaries of innovation, reflecting the passion, traditions and craftsmanship that goes into the art of the perfect cask selection.
