First Impressions
Edition No. 2 arrived in 2016 as the first Macallan Edition built around an external collaboration. The Roca Brothers of El Celler de Can Roca in Girona were invited to Easter Elchies to help select the casks.
Distillery & Heritage
For No. 2, Bob Dalgarno worked with Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca to chose a marriage of seven cask types. Bottled at a meaningful 48.2% ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural colour.
Tasting Notes in Detail
The nose opens on Macallan's signature sherried sweetness but quickly turns culinary. The palate is layered and structured.
Verdict
A high-water mark for sherried Macallan in the modern NAS era.
