The Macallan Edition No. 5 celebrates The Macallans extensive natural colour spectrum and the intricate whisky making process, in partnership with masters at the Pantone Color Institute to create a unique shade of purple that features on the packaging.

The Macallan Edition No. 5 is the distillery’s 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 Macallans commitment to natural colour and the intricate whisky making process.

With The Macallan Edition No. 5, 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.
