Macallan Edition N°5
The Macallan Edition N°5 celebrates the natural colour of Macallan bottlings. This inspired the renowned Pantone Color Institute to create a unique and ‘exquisitely complex’ shade for the label. Purple, like the 15 Gran Reserva a couple of years ago, only slightly more pink this time. Never mind the
It is matured in a mix of bourbon barrels, refill sherry hogsheads and butts, and first-fill sherry casks from three cooperages in Jerez (Tevasa, Vasyma and Huberto Domecq).
Edition No.5 is bottled at 48.5% ABV and available towards the end of September.

Glenrothes 40 Years
Already announced with the rest of the Soleo Collection, now confirmed and visible: The Glenrothes 40 Year Old.
