Macallan Edition 1
Macallan Edition 1 is the debut expression in the Edition Series. It celebrates The Macallan’s unparalleled oak cask management policy that oversees the entire process from wood sourcing to finished, seasoned, cask. Showcasing the influence of The Macallan’s exceptional oak casks in the flavour of the whisky, the result is a bold single malt drawn from eight of the finest European and American oak cask styles and sizes. Macallan Edition Sherry-seasoned and aged to perfection before being combined to create this rich and multidimensional whisky, the character of each cask style lives within the whisky itself.
The Edition Series
A unique selection of oak cask styles are combined to yield a new limited edition expression each year. In this first release, a taste journey begins with soft oak notes and evolves to deeper, richer flavors.

Parker –
a lot better than the edition 2, flavors are more consistent despite the young alcohol emerging at some points, overall a very drinkable whisky, overpriced though
