Description
Eighteen Years of Pure Sherry Oak Devotion
The Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Year Old is the crown jewel of the distillery’s most revered range — a whisky matured exclusively in hand-picked sherry-seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez, Spain, for a full eighteen years. No grain whisky, no shortcuts, no compromise. The 2022 Release represents a specific annual expression of this timeless style, offering the depth and complexity that only nearly two decades in exceptional sherry oak can deliver. Its natural mahogany colour is a testament to the richness within.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Intense dried fruit, warm ginger, and dark chocolate with a generous sherry sweetness and notes of polished oak and cinnamon
- Palate: Full-bodied and opulent — raisins, candied orange peel, mature oak, and a deep, warming spice that builds with each sip, underpinned by a luxurious sherry richness
- Finish: Exceptionally long and warming with lingering ginger, dried fruit, dark chocolate, and a smooth, oaky sweetness that fades with quiet elegance
