About this bottle
The Macallan Edition No. 5 is their homage to the diversity and complexity of natural colour. Inspired by a coming together of whisky making mastery and colour expertise and insight, this single malt celebrates both Macallan’s commitment to natural colour and the intricate whisky making process. 100% natural in colour, all of their exceptional whiskies are shaped from time spent in the very best casks; maturing, nurturing and developing character. World renowned colour masters at the Pantone Color Institut created a uniquely bold shade of purple; reflecting an enigmatic, multi-faceted and intricate combination of red and blue.
