Description

The 2019 and fourth edition of this limited release from Macallan was only available through an online ballot. This was unlike the previous releases which were available only at the distillery. Folio 4 features an advertisement including a Strathspey composed by James Scott Skinner (1843-1927). The ad notes that Skinner - 'The Strathspey King' - was moved to music by the lilting flavour and melting resonances of a tumbler of his favourite malt whisky, The Macallan. The ad, small but groundbreaking, was the first instance of musical notation displayed on a page of British newspaper, The Times, and is famously known as the 'Music for the Mouth' bottling. As with previous Folio releases, the original presentation includes a book inside an elegant book-shaped tin box.
