A HOMAGE TO THE DIVERSITY AND COMPLEXITY OF THE MACALLAN’S NATURAL COLOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Macallan Edition No. 5 is our very own 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 The Macallan\u2019s commitment to natural colour and the intricate whisky making process.<\/p>\n

100% natural in colour, all of our exceptional whiskies from The Macallan are shaped from time spent in the very best casks; maturing, nurturing and developing character. World renowned colour masters at the Pantone Color Institute created a uniquely bold shade of purple; reflecting an enigmatic, multi-faceted and intricate combination of red and blue.<\/p>\n

“We can find much common ground between whisky making and colour creation and with Edition No.5 we have been able to explore and celebrate these two art forms.” Sarah Burgess, The Macallan Whisky Maker<\/p>\n

With The Macallan Edition No. 5<\/strong>, it is the complexity and precision of the whisky making process which defines this colour creation; showcasing the infinite hues, creativity and expertise which harnesses the natural colour of The Macallan.<\/p>\n

We are surrounded by colour; it shapes our everyday lives. From defining moods, shaping perceptions, distracting thoughts and changing behaviour, it is a powerful force that can communicate without words.<\/p>\n

“As the rainbow\u2019s most complex colour, purple naturally felt like the ideal shade to highlight the equally complex process involved in The Macallan\u2019s whisky making.” Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute\u2122<\/p>\n
