The second release from the Macallan Edition series is a collaboration between Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno and the three brothers behind El Celler de Can Roca (named Best Restaurant in the World twice by Restaurant magazine). This single malt was drawn from a combination of European and American oak casks.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Mocha, brown sugar, a spark of ginger and some oak-y warmth.
Notes of Sherried raisins and dried citrus peels develop, a hint of vegetal oak. Still a little chocolate-y.
Spiced fruit cake and lemon peels.

I’ve had more expensive scotches but never one I liked as much.
Perfectly discribes my feelings, best whisky I ever tasted: Get this one before they are all gone like edition no 1. Sweet spiciness and lingering creaminess. Tasting notes above really close to my palate, and the nose is heaven. Bought it @ Macallen Distillery after tasting. Wanted to buy 2, but only one left one the bloody site..
Absolutely love this bottle!
Macallan has been into a lot of NAS, a lot of fine oak. But with edition No.1 & this No.2 they make a compelling comeback. Sherry. Classic. Spiced. Cut above the rest. This one is quite robust and excellent flavours. Ginger spice, mix of first/refill sherry casks, slightly higher ABV all make it work. Doesnt matter if its a NAS. Still a great whisky. One of my favourites for 2016 new whisky of the year.
Had two bottles of this one, and is delicious....Enjoy the ride while you can.
