This is the first release in a planned annual limited release under The Edition label and the first is for the Taiwan market.
Matured in 58% Butts, 23% Hogshead and 19% Puncheon, this liquid has been matured in the following 8 types of cask:
1st Fill Tevasa European Butts, 1st Fill Toneleria Hudo European Butts, 1st Fill Vasyma American Puncheons, 1st Fill J & M Martin European Butts, 1st Fill Gonzalez Byass European Butts, 1st Fill Tevasa European Puncheons, 2nd Fill Sherry European Hogsheads, 2nd Fill Sherry European Butts
The concept with Edition No. 1 is co-creation, with both American and European oak casks being incorporated, showcasing the brand's mastery of wood. To accomplish the feat, Macallan's master whisky-maker, Bob Dalgarno, hand-selected and proportioned a total of eight different cask types, including different cask styles, sizes and origins.
It has a rich aroma of vanilla and caramel. The palate brings more warmth, spice and complexity, with continued creamy richness throughout, leading to a long and smooth finish filled with cinnamon, allspice and a hint of chocolate.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold glow and a touch of mahogany, a warm, radiant liquid that hints at sherry richness.
Nose
Rich vanilla and caramel aromas rise from the glass, creamy and inviting, with a warm sweetness that hints at the oak-driven complexity from the eight cask types.
Palate
A warm, spice-forward palate unfolds with creamy richness and growing complexity. Vanilla and caramel underpin a silky texture, while cinnamon and allspice weave through, finishing long and smooth with a hint of dark chocolate.
Finish
Long, velvety finish that lingers with warming cinnamon and allspice, with a subtle kiss of chocolate.
