The Macallan Edition No. 5

Edition No. 5. The Macallan — the fifth annual release in The Macallan’s Edition series, created in collaboration with paper artist Yulia Brodskaya, whose intricate three-dimensional quilling artwork inspired the visual identity and aromatic approach of the expression.

Yulia Brodskaya’s collaboration on Edition No. 5 brought a different sensory lens than the perfumery expertise of Edition No. 4’s Roja Dove — Brodskaya’s paper art creates layered, textured visual depth from a single medium, and The Macallan’s approach to Edition No. 5’s cask selection aimed to reflect that philosophy: building complexity from carefully layered components. The result is a fresher, lighter profile than No. 4 — vanilla, caramel, and poached pear leading over the dried fruit richness that defines older editions.
