A Timeless Expression of Sherry Oak Mastery
The Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Years Old, 2023 Release, is a distinguished member of the Sherry Oak Collection, showcasing the finest in single malt craftsmanship. Maturing for 18 years in meticulously selected sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, this expression embodies the depth, richness, and complexity that define The Macallan's heritage.
 
The Art of Sherry Oak:
Crafted from sherry-seasoned oak casks, each component of this expression is carefully chosen to create a multi-layered whisky experience. The casks are expertly toasted and seasoned by The Macallan's Master of Wood to ensure the rich, natural colour and deep flavors that are synonymous with The Macallan brand.
