Macallan Edition No.2 US Label

色澤呈金糖色。香氣先是濃郁的蜜糖與太妃糖，接著是姜香、烤蘋果與溫暖的香草；打開杯蓋又有熱帶果香與微微青木氣息。入口豐腴而溫暖，黑胡椒與丁香的辛香與巧克力、紅糖、烘烤橡木及堅果交織，尾段則有甘草和餅乾的細碎甜脆。酒體黏稠、層次多、餘韻悠長。酒廠說明：限量二號是麥卡倫對橡木與基酒嚴苛選擇的結晶：從四間西班牙酒窖挑選出七種不同的橡木桶，經過烘烤與調整後，交由酒廠的木材與釀造團隊精心搭配調和。釀造與熟成：使用美式與歐洲橡木、不同大小與烘烤程度的桶型混合熟成，讓雪莉風格的甜香、辛香與巧克力質地互相襯托。產區說明：來源於斯貝賽（Speyside）傳統，取用在地純淨泉水與優質麥芽，並以木桶管理為核心來塑造風味。建議品飲：淨飲或少量加水，靜置約10–20分鐘讓香氣完全展開；配上黑巧克力、熟成起司或烤堅果都很合適。

Colour: deep golden syrup. Nose: sticky treacle, candied ginger, orchard toffee apples and a ribbon of vanilla; tropical fruit notes and subtle green wood appear with air. Palate: warm and rich — cracked black pepper and cloves weave with milk and dark chocolate, brown sugar, toasted oak and roasted nuts; hints of liquorice and brandy-snap biscuits linger. Finish: full, slow, viscous and persistent. Producer notes: Edition No.2 is the result of The Macallan's obsessive mastery of oak and spirit. Hand-picked casks — seven distinct oak types from four Spanish bodegas — were sourced, toasted and seasoned to the distillery’s demanding specification under the guidance of the Master of Wood and Whisky Mastery team. Winemaking & maturation: This limited-edition expression combines American and European oak casks in various sizes and toast levels, marrying bright citrus and tropical fruit lift with warm sherry, spice and chocolate tones. Regional notes: Born of Speyside tradition, the spirit reflects pure local water, quality malted barley and decades of cask experience. Serve neat or with a few drops of spring water; rest 10–20 minutes in the glass to open aromas. Ideal with dark chocolate, aged cheeses or rich, nutty desserts.
