Macallan Edition No.4

Edition No.4 是麥卡倫年度系列的第四款作品，帶出酒廠自1824年以來的工藝與新世代風貌。酒色銅亮，香氣先有蜜糖與青蘋果的親切感，接著跳出橙皮的清爽與生薑、肉桂、豆蔻等溫暖香料，底層則是細緻的綠木與花香。入口時香料與橡木同場，初段充滿刺激的香辛，隨後轉為圓潤的香草與黏稠的甜感，尾段帶出蜜餞與可可的深度。釀製上以數種歐洲及美國橡木桶交互熟成，為酒體帶來豐滿結構與綿長餘韻。田地與原料來源講究：選自靠近Speyside地區的優質大麥，經嚴格挑選與小批量蒸餾，讓每一口都呈現果香、香料與橡木的平衡。適合靜靜坐下慢飲，也很容易與濃郁巧克力或熟成乳酪搭配。

Edition No.4 is the fourth instalment in The Macallan’s annual series, marrying the distillery’s long craftsmanship with a new-era architectural statement. Burnished copper in the glass, the nose is lively and rounded — honey and sweet apple lead, then bright orange zest, backed by ginger, nutmeg and floral-green wood notes. The palate opens with warm wood spices and green cloves, settling into a viscous vanilla sweetness and polished oak. Matured in a specially selected combination of European and American oak casks, it delivers toffee, figs and cocoa alongside sherry spice. Full-bodied and bold, the finish is long with fruity-oaky sweetness — a small-batch single malt designed for contemplative sipping.
