Macallan Edition No 1

The Macallan Edition No. 1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
700ml | 48.1% ABV | Natural Color | Non-Chill Filtered | Discontinued

The Start of an Iconic Series

The Macallan Edition 1 launched The Macallan’s groundbreaking Edition Series in 2015. Consequently, it broke from tradition by focusing on cask diversity instead of age statements. Moreover, it celebrated creativity and blending mastery. Above all, it set a new standard for innovation that still defines the series today.

Crafted with Eight Unique Casks

The Master Whisky Maker selected eight sherry-seasoned oak casks—a mix of European and American oak—to create this expression. In fact, the team designed the Macallan Edition 1 to showcase how wood shapes flavor. As a result, it delivers bold layers of dried fruit, citrus, and spice with remarkable harmony.

Bold, Fruity, and Exceptionally Balanced

Bottled at 48.1% ABV, this whisky offers vibrant energy and deep character. First, the nose reveals raisin, orange zest, and vanilla. Then, cinnamon, clove, and ginger follow with air. On the palate, plum, toffee, and dark chocolate unfold smoothly. Finally, the finish is long and warming—dried fruit, cocoa, and a whisper of smoke. Altogether, it captures the vision of this Macallan Edition 1.

A Discontinued Collector’s Foundation

The Macallan has since discontinued Edition No. 1. Therefore, it has become highly sought after by collectors. Its minimalist black bottle and gold detailing make it a sleek display piece. For enthusiasts, the Macallan Edition 1 represents the pure beginning of a revolutionary series.
