Founded in 1824 in Speyside, The Macallan is one of Scotland’s most prestigious whisky producers. Known for its mastery of oak maturation and natural colour, the distillery has built a reputation for luxury and collectability. Its limited releases, such as the Harmony Collection, combine heritage with modern creativity, offering whiskies that are as visually striking as they are exceptional to taste.

Edition No. 2's defining feature is genuine four-way co-creation: Bob Dalgarno and each of the three Roca brothers personally selected a different cask style to reflect their own creative identity — Josep chose casks for a dominant ginger note, Joan for toffee and green wood, Jordi for light vanilla and citrus, and Dalgarno himself for intense dried fruit and sherry character. That structure means the finished whisky is a genuine blend of four distinct creative visions rather than a single blender's interpretation, drawn from seven cask types across four different Spanish bodegas. Released the year after the well-received Edition No. 1, this second instalment has been widely regarded by reviewers and collectors as one of the strongest entries in the entire Edition series, with some long-time collectors naming it their favourite Macallan release of the era. It's a strong pick for collectors following the Edition series from the start, or for sherry-cask Macallan fans specifically drawn to a whisky with real collaborative provenance behind it.
