The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Cask 2016 Release

The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Cask 2016 Release

The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Cask 2016 Release is an extremely rare release that was matured exclusively in selected sherry oak casks from Jerez, Spain. Light mahogany in colour, the nose expresses dried fruit and ginger, with a hint of citrus, vanilla and cinnamon. The palate shows rich dried fruit, with spice, clove, orange and wood smoke. The finish is full and lingering, with dried fruit, sweet toffee, ginger and a hint of wood smoke. 

The Macallan Six Pillars

1. The Spiritual Home
   Easter Elchies house proudly watches over the distillery in Speyside, Scotland. Built in 1700, this Jacobean Manor house is the Macallan's spiritual home.
2. Curiously Small Stills
   The Macallan's curiously small and uniquely shaped copper stills help concentrate the flavour of the 'New Make' spirit.
3. The Finest Cut
   The Macallan takes one of the finest new make spirit 'cuts' of any distillery in Scotland - typically a mere 16%
4. Exceptional Oak Casks
   The Macallan Double Cask is exclusively matured in sherry seasoned oak casks from America and Europe. These casks are filled with aged sherries in SPain and left to season before receiving new make spirit. 
5. Natural Colour
   The interaction of spirit and wood alone delivers the variety of rich and natural colours that distinguish the Macallan range. 
6. Peerless Spirit
   The Macallan is celebrated far and wide by experts and discerning drinkers as the world's most precious whisky.
