Aged for a minimum of 18 years, the American oak contributes notes of vanilla, caramel and fresh citrus, while European oak brings rich dried fruits and warming spice. The result is a wonderfully balanced Macallan, combining generous sherry character with sweetness, complexity and elegant oak. Bottled at 43% and presented at its natural colour, this is a refined expression of The Macallan's long-standing dedication to exceptional oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: Scotland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: Speyside\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistillery: The Macallan Distillery, Easter Elchies, Craigellachie, Scotland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: 18 Year Old (2024 Release)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eABV: 43%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaturation: Matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural colour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: Dried fruits, ginger and toffee with rich orange and hints of clove and nutmeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Rich raisin and sultana with notes of caramel, vanilla and ginger, balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Warm oak spice with ginger turning to sweet orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Distillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Macallan Distillery is located on the historic Easter Elchies Estate near Craigellachie in the heart of Speyside.
