Macallan 25yr Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch

Macallan 25yr Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch

___
2018 Edition

This Macallan Sherry Oak is exclusively matured for a minimum of 25 years in Spanish oak casks, handcrafted and sherry seasoned in Jerez, Spain. This delivers a classic Macallan style, wonderfully rich in color with dried fruits, spice and chocolate orange.

The Macallan was one of the first Highland distilleries to take out a license in 1824, since when it has been distilled by generations of craftsman on a small estate over looking the River near Craigellachie.

The key to understanding The Macallan lies in the Company's total dedication to quality and attention to detail. A purposefully traditionalist distillery, no shortcuts are taken in time, investment and production of "the best glass" (Kingles Amis). Alongside its unusually small hand-beaten copper stills, The Macallan is perhaps best known for its insistence on sherry aging.

The Macallan malt whisky is matured exclusively in sherry oak casks from the bodegas of Jerez, Spain. The Spanish oak casks are hand-picked annually then seasoned for three years with the finest Oloroso and fino sherries. Shipped unbroken to Speyside they are filled with the Macallan spirit and "sleep" for a mandatory 10 years while the cask imparts The Macallan's distinctive mellow flavor and rich golden color.
