The Macallan Edition No. 1 – Taiwan Exclusive (Rare Wooden Box)

The Legendary First Chapter: Rare Asian Market Release

The Macallan Edition No. 1 is the bottle that launched the global phenomenon of the “Edition Series.” While the UK and European markets received this whisky in standard cardboard cartons, this rare Taiwan Exclusive version is presented in the highly collectible wooden presentation case.

Crafted by Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno, Edition No. 1 is widely regarded as the finest liquid in the entire six-part series. It showcases the distillery’s mastery of wood management, utilizing a complex vatting of eight different styles of European and American oak casks. The result is a whisky of incredible depth, far richer, spicier, and more robust than the core range.

The “Wooden Box” Rarity: This specific bottle features the Asian market import label and the premium wooden slide-box packaging. This variation is exceptionally difficult to find in the UK and is sought after by serious collectors looking to elevate their Edition Series set beyond the standard retail release.

Tasting Profile:

• Nose: Rich aromas of orange, dried fruits, and nutmeg, underpinned by heavy oak and vanilla.

• Palate: A powerful, creamy mouthfeel. Bursts of ginger, cinnamon, and toffee, balanced by signature sherry-oak richness.

• Finish: Long, lingering, and warming with soft spices.
