The Macallan Scotch Single Malt Edition No. 5

The fifth release in Macallan’s Edition series was blended by whisky maker Sarah Burgess and consists entirely of liquid matured in American oak—a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill and refill sherry casks.

Whisky Advocate says:

Edition No. 5 has brilliant purple packaging—a color unique to this whisky. The color was custom-designed for Macallan by Pantone Color Institute vice president Laurie Pressman as an homage to the complexity of the whisky. Like all Macallans, Edition No. 5 is bottled without any added coloring—the liquid’s golden hue is totally natural.
