The Macallan Edition No. 5 is an enchanting experience that begins with a sweet and inviting aroma, featuring profound notes of vanilla that dance gracefully on the nose.

History
The Macallan Edition No. 5 is a premium Scotch which is matured at The Macallan distillery, which has been established since 1824. Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid sowed the fields surrounding the rented home with barley and established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. In the slow winter days Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains into whisky, which was often drunk straight from the still or sold to travelers passing through the town. Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estate's Minstrel barley. This barley is pivotal in maintaining the rich and complex flavor profile that The Macallan is known for, and the distillery's meticulous production methods ensure that each bottle reflects the dedication and craftsmanship that has been honed over nearly two centuries.
