This particular Macallan expression undergoes an exclusive maturation process within Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. This meticulous aging allows the initial rich, fruity, and full-bodied 'new make' spirit to undergo a remarkable transformation into the quintessential single malt. Following the filling of these casks, the maturing whisky is left undisturbed for a span of 12 years, a period during which it interacts with the wood and the sherry influence.
The culmination of this maturation process is a rich and complex whisky characterized by a dynamic interplay of spice and dried fruit notes. The inherent characteristics of the sherry-seasoned oak casks impart a natural rich golden hue to the whisky, serving as a visual testament to the influence of the cask on the final product. This expression encapsulates the artistry of The Macallan, representing the harmonious synthesis of time, wood, and spirit that is the hallmark of exceptional single malt Scotch whisky.
