An April Treasure from The Macallan Vaults

The Macallan Cask 4 2017 (bottled April 2017 as Cask #4/2017) is a rare, unblended expression from The Macallan’s Exceptional Single Cask series. Consequently, it offers the pure, unfiltered character of a single sherry-seasoned European oak cask. Moreover, with only around 300 bottles produced, it captures a unique moment of Macallan’s cask mastery in spring 2017. Above all, it’s a true collector’s artifact.

Bottled at Natural Cask Strength

This whisky was drawn directly from Cask #4/2017 at 57.5% ABV, with no chill filtration or dilution. In fact, this April 2017 release showcases the distillery’s ability to balance intensity and elegance through sherry cask maturation. As a result, it delivers deep fruit, spice, and oak with a rich, oily texture that evolves beautifully with air.

Rich, Spicy, and Exceptionally Layered

The nose opens with raisin, fig, and orange marmalade, followed by cinnamon, clove, and dark chocolate. Then, leather and tobacco unfold with air. On the palate, flavors of plum, toffee, and antique oak glide with weight. Subtle notes of espresso, roasted almond, and beeswax add complexity. Finally, the finish is long and warming—dried fruit, cocoa, and a whisper of smoke. Altogether, it embodies the spirit of this Macallan Cask 4 2017.

A One-of-a-Kind Collector’s Bottle

As a single cask release, the Macallan Cask 4 2017 is inherently non-repeatable. Therefore, it holds strong value for collectors who seek provenance, rarity, and authenticity. Its minimalist label—featuring cask number and bottling date—makes it a standout in any serious Macallan collection.
