MACALLAN 18 Year Old Sherry Oak Cask (2024 Release) Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 43%

The 2024 release of The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak is a classic expression of the distillery's long-standing relationship with sherry-seasoned oak. Matured for 18 years in carefully selected sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain, this distinguished Speyside single malt develops an exceptionally rich and elegant character. Layers of dried fruit, warming spice and orange are complemented by mature oak, while the whisky's deep colour is derived naturally from its cask maturation. Bottled at 43%, this is a beautifully composed expression of The Macallan's renowned sherry-led style.
