Rob, Excellent review. I find your reviews fair and always well thought out! I have purchased a bottle of Edition 5 and feel you are dead on point(as always)! Thank you and please keep reviewing! You are one of the very best!!!
Thanks so much Neal. Really appreciate the kind words. Really glad you feel the same way about this. Cheers 🙏🏻
Your review prompted me to buy many in my collection and I have never been disappointed!!!! Hazelburn 14 a prime example!!
So happy to hear it's a solid whisky! Great review, cheers!
+Sippers Social Club thanks buddy
This whiskey was terrible a complete waste of $149
Awesome job as always Rob. Of all the whiskytubers out there, you’re probably the one whose opinion Id want to hear first on this bad boy & im glad to hear it’s a good one! 🥃😄
+Jay Chung thanks Jay. Really appreciate that.
Thanks for the review Rob!
+WhiskyJason cheers Jason
Just picked up a bottle! Always love your reviews!
Thanks Adam
Very nice review Rob! I think this could be my second fav of the editions as well.
It’s a beauty.
Love the review Rob. First I’ve e seen on the #5 thanks to the 6.
+strafe777 thanks buddy. Ya I think this is the first review out.
Could not help but burst out laughing when I saw the bottle level on the first day :-)
it's from a tasting. I was lucky enough to take some home.
@@WhiskyInThe6 Yeah but it was still a funny opening.
That's exactly how I feel about their 15 Triple Cask. Soft vanilla, incredible viscosity, well balanced. Such a great whisky. Great vid broheimsky.
ya the 15 is my favourite from the Triple Casks
Hey Rob. Great video as always man! Really excited about this one. Waiting for it to come in stock in the UK. Hopefully I wont have to wait to long!
+Alan Giles it’ll be there this week i think. Cheers.
When do you think you will review Macallan Edition No. 6?
We will likely have it on the podcast next week thanks to a friend.
@@WhiskyInThe6 That's great! I just started watching your videos and subscribed. You do a great job reviewing whiskeys! Looking forward to your podcast
Zaveinn White cheers buddy. Thank you.
Sounds like a good one. Looking forward to trying it.
Nice review, Rob. Not seen the Edition 5 in my area yet, but I'm looking.
+Frank lampard they’ll start trickling in within the next week.
Well done, Rob! Great review, in your opinion how do the classic cuts compare to the editions?
+JK VanFleet hard to say. I really enjoy both.
Hate the label color choice but I’ll definitely buy a bottle when I see one. Loved #4 enough to buy a backup bottle and may get a second before they disappear from store shelves completely.
+Salty Dog you’ll want a second on this as well.
Whisky In The 6 Congrats on being the first to review it on UA-cam!
Awesome review Rob! Keep it up!
+Anthony Ruso thanks buddy
Great review Rob! Can’t wait to try it!
Cheers!

+Cigars NStuff thanks buddy. Cheers.
Cool it's purple. What's that age statement though?
+Benjamin * 😉
Sad I may never have the edition 1 to complete my collection.
you never know
Great work, Rob!
+Krishna R thank you
Damn dude you already got your hands on it? Nice!
+The Whiskey Dic ya. Super lucky. The Brand Manager in for Canada hooked me up with that heel after the tasting I was at yesterday.
Interesting. Did you look inside the box fold for the next edition? Even those there are NAS, there are the best macallans under 300 bucks. By far. Blow away 18. These definitely have old whisky in them with younger whisky. If the juice is excellent, age is not so important, and this juice is excellent. My favorite is still edition 2, but have not had this 5.
I would agree. I like the editions better than any of the age statements from Macallan that I've tasted. It says Edition 6 coming soon.
@@WhiskyInThe6 So we will see next year if there will be a 7 lol
+Cars Cigars Scotch N Watches yep
You are on top of your game
+Zulu1520 thanks
Thanks Rob👍👍❗️❗️❗️
Sounds tasty Rob...!
I think you in particular will love this one.
but why the internet and numerous whisky bloger , reveal Edition 5 in Black / dark Green label color ?
and also American TTL database with black as well , now release the pink and purple, is not break any law ?
I still admire this great release for sure , tks for sharing this info
+John Wen the black was a fake. Cheers John.
@@WhiskyInThe6 so the dark label and black info vloger and website is full of fake news ?? ,tks for ur reply , do u have whats app id or face book , We r one of the most collective whisky boutique in Asia TW ( The Kuva ) , would like to connect with u. tks
+John Wen whiskyinthe6@gmail.com
Great video Rob
Already in your hands????? I was searching for it the whole day yesterday in European shops but no luck
+Kresimir Jelcic it’ll likely hit some today.
Another NAS whisky. No thanks. I'm with Ralfy. Age statement or pass
+TheParadigmShift fair enough
And minimum 43abv
I agree. Age statements rule. This is just more marketing by Macallan.
Seems pretty snobbish.
Picking your whisky based on something printed on the packaging is sketchy... I'm largely not a fan of NAS whiskies, out of 100 or so bottles of scotch I probably have fewer than 5 NAS. But this series is solid by all accounts, and that's more important than a number. (Even Ralfy admits to liking some NAS offerings, he just doesn't review them.)
You said Edition 5 is Edition 3 amped up. I thought Ed 3 was terrible, they worked with a master perfumer. I drink my whisky not snort it. I thought Ed 2 was great and Ed 4 was good. I'll be passing on the Ed 5. Good review.
+Keith Petersen cool buddy. To each their own.
Holy crap, that color. (The box, not the bottle.)
The No.2 is the best one in my opinion.
Have you tried the one?
Looks like this makes you *First!* I'm the slow pony... Have yet to touch the Edition 4.
+foodquig lol all good buddy
Does anyone know when this will become available in the states?
its here!!!
we have it in AZ
Just found them out west it’s an amazing bottle
really love this one.
Why is there no European Oak? Even the 3rd Edition had EU oak. Is that the direction of Macallan now, lighter and more balanced. I want that punch in the face sherry note Rob lol! Cheers amigo
+Travis Faircloth lol I think this is just a one time thing.
Rob....there was a review on the Scotch Reddit tread dissing this new edition, giving it 73 out of 100
..so i posted the link to your review which gave it high marks, and later on I got a reply from a member suggesting otherwise.
I hope you'll reply and clarify.

You raise a good point about balancing the scores and viewpoints of a number of reviewers, instead of just relying on a single reviewer.
Though, in this case I am not sure you can honestly classify the post by Whisky in the 6/Rob as an actual review.
Macallan took him out to try No. 3, 4 and 5, than sent him home with the bottle of No. 5 to review for the official launch.
Heck, No. 5 does not launch in Ontario for a few more weeks.
On top of that, Macallan/their PR agency sent him these as a house warming gift - instagram.com/p/BozLNdUguWY/
Edrington (owners of Macallan/HP/Glenrothes) also had him help select the local cask selection for a Highland Park.
At this point his review comes off more as an advertisement versus a honest and unbiased review.
That being said, I realize many prolific and prominent whisky reviewers are in ethically compromising situations. Heck, /u/TOModera frequently reviews whiskies provided by brands. Perhaps this explains some of the anomalies in his scoring.''
chopper's place what’s hilarious about this guy’s ridiculous claims is that I received the Edition 4 last year for free and it was on my most recent Overrated and Overpriced videos. I gave it a low score and basically disagreed with everything most ppl said about it. The 5 is drastically more balanced, zero heat to it vs the 4 and simply really tasty. Not going to waste my time replying to a reddit dude that’s likely a virgin from Toronto Whisky Society.
Ant eta on when it will hit Canada’s store shelves?
+chopper's place Alberta can have it soon. Ontario likely November/December
Next years will not be the last unless they start a new series. they love to do the NAS releases. big money for them.
+Jamison Moeckel they probably will come up with something else.
Rumor is a 20% $$ increase verses #1-#4, any word on that?
don't think so. should be around 3-10% higher depending.
Howmany bottels where made?
close to 200k
I am honestly so tired fo sherried casks I am looking for bourbon barreled only whisky its so nice to have a nice whisky that does not mask the distilery character. If i was Macallan I would never want to show their garbage distillery charater though. You must alwasy mask it, nude mac is a bad mac.
+Jamison Moeckel lol to each their own I guess.
@@WhiskyInThe6 lol I know im weird but its kinda true, how many times have you seen only bourbon or new oak barrels for mac? Never! I have tasted what they want to hide brother.
rancid yeast i can blind tast mac any mac and I know what it is. even the high priced ones.
I dunno man. Alberta had a 20 year, single ex-bourbon barrel Macallan that is one of the most interesting drinks I've ever had
@@Tantrum777 I guess I can't argue since I haven't had much experience with that.
£92 for a Non Age Statement,disgusting coloured box..all marketing hype rubbish,along with huge price tag!!Beware these rip off merchants!!!Glenfarclas and Aberlour ....Miles better and value for money!👎👎👎
+Ian Crombie nah. Most Glenfarclas I’ve had has been average at best.
@@WhiskyInThe6 Word!
I just picked up a bottle from Costco for $99.
Great deal!
Morgan Steele US or Canada?
Josue Laura US
@Morgan Steele
Which Costco? The one in CT I go has carried the 18yr on and off for years and always carries the 12yr. I wonder if they’re getting the No 5 like yours had?
Thanks!
Arizona
Dang whisky season means 💵 💵 💰
+BBJAP yep
I'm going to rate this one really really high - then says 90.
90 is a high score.
Finally is out. We’ve been waiting so long for it. Do you know how many bottles were released? Great review Rob, always doing good videos. Enjoy that dram cheers!! 🥃
+Uncorked Edition they say over 200k
Whisky In The 6 Same as the other 3. Then they would be on the shelves until next year sure.
*Skol Vikings !*
Handsome
Great video Rob
+Whisky Wings thank you
