Born from an unprecedented collaboration, The Macallan Edition No. 2 showcases the synergy between whisky artistry and world-class gastronomy. This exceptional limited edition Scotch marries carefully selected sherry oak casks, chosen by both Macallan’s Master Whisky Maker and the legendary Roca brothers, yielding a rich, complex, and utterly unforgettable single malt experience.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A sophisticated and complex bouquet unfurls with notes of dark berries, sticky toffee pudding, and rich dried fruits like figs and dates. Undercurrents of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg mingle with subtle hints of polished oak and a delicate citrus zest, suggesting its sherry-cask influence.
Palate: The palate is remarkably full-bodied and luxurious, offering an immediate warmth that carries flavors of treacle, spiced orange peel, and dark chocolate. Layers of roasted nuts, particularly walnuts and almonds, emerge alongside a creamy vanilla and a delightful interplay of oak tannins and sweet stone fruit. There's a subtle savory element, perhaps a nod to its culinary inspiration.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and warming, gradually fading through a tapestry of dried fruit, oak spice, and a lingering sweetness. Hints of bitter chocolate and a delicate whisper of smoke complete the experience, leaving a sophisticated and memorable impression.
