ALC. 43%      70 CL

Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak is a highly sought-after Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distilled in 1996 and aged for 18 years in Spanish sherry oak casks, a classic expression from one of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries that showcases the rich, traditional style The Macallan is renowned for before age-statement expressions became rarer in its core range. Bottled at 43 % ABV after nearly two decades of maturation, this vintage release captures the distillery’s hallmark balance of dried fruit, spice and oak influence, with aromatic notes of raisin, orange peel and dark chocolate giving way to a palate where rich dried fruits, ginger, clove and warm oak mingle before a long, elegant finish that reflects its Speyside heritage and deep sherry cask influence. As a collectible bottle from a memorable era of Macallan’s history — often bottled around 2014 following its extended maturation — this expression appeals to collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate classic sherry-oak-driven whiskies with both depth and refinement.
