Macallan Edition No.5 Miniature No.0117 (5cl, 48.5%)

Description

Macallan Edition No.5 Miniature No.0117 5cl, 48.5% is a miniature version of the fifth release in The Macallan Edition Series, the collection created to explore different dimensions of whisky making through cask selection, collaboration and design. The official Macallan archive presents Edition No.5 as a homage to the diversity and complexity of The Macallan’s natural colour, created in partnership with the Pantone Color Institute, while reviewed miniature references confirm that 5cl versions of Edition No.5 were bottled in 2019 at 48.5% ABV.

What makes this miniature especially attractive is the way it combines one of the most visually recognisable Edition releases with a very scarce small-format presentation. Reviewed miniature listings describe it as a very rare miniature celebrating the release of Edition No.5, while the official Macallan material explains that the whisky itself was created from exclusively American oak casks selected to showcase natural colour and full flavour. I was able to confirm the miniature format and the general release, but I could not independently verify the specific individual number “No.0117” from public sources reviewed here.

Why Choose Macallan Edition No.5 Miniature No.0117 5cl, 48.5%

Macallan Edition No.5 Miniature No.0117 5cl, 48.5% stands out because it is not simply a small bottle of Macallan. It is a miniature of the fifth Edition Series release, the bottling dedicated to natural colour, and that gives it a very clear identity within the full numbered run from Edition No.1 to Edition No.6. The Edition No.5 concept and style are official, while the miniature rarity is supported by reviewed miniature listings.

For collectors, the appeal is obvious: miniature releases from important Macallan limited editions are far less commonly encountered than the standard 70cl bottles, and Edition No.5 already has one of the strongest standalone identities in the series because of its Pantone collaboration and purple presentation. For drinkers, even in miniature form, it still carries the same vanilla, pear, caramel and oak-spice profile that made the full release distinctive. The flavour profile is based on the official tasting notes, while the extra collector appeal of the miniature format is an inference supported by the reviewed small-format references.

Ideal For.

This bottle is ideal for collectors building a complete Macallan Edition Series set and wanting a rarer miniature representation of the fifth release. This is based on the official series position of Edition No.5 and the reviewed 5cl miniature references.

It is ideal for Macallan drinkers who enjoy vanilla, toffee, pear, caramel, poached peaches, nutmeg and ginger in a modern limited edition shaped by American oak cask influence. This is based on the official published tasting profile for Edition No.5.

It is also ideal for gifting or for adding a highly display-friendly Macallan miniature to a serious whisky shelf. This is an inference based on the 5cl format, the colour-led concept of Edition No.5 and the reviewed rarity descriptions for the miniature.

Collector’s Note

This bottle has strong collector appeal because it combines two things buyers usually value: a clearly defined Macallan limited release and a rarer miniature format. Edition No.5 already has one of the strongest individual identities in the entire Edition Series thanks to its natural-colour concept and Pantone partnership, and miniature versions add another layer of scarcity and display appeal. The release identity is official, while the extra appeal of the miniature is an inference supported by the reviewed miniature listings.

It is also attractive because it offers more than novelty alone. Even in 5cl form, it still represents the full Edition No.5 whisky, with its American-oak-driven profile of vanilla, pear, caramel and spice, making it appealing both as a collectible object and as a miniature expression of one of Macallan’s most recognisable modern numbered releases.
