Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak 1990 – A Magical Taste Journey in a Bottle
A legendary whisky for discerning connoisseurs
The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak 1990 is not just a bottle of whisky – it is a time capsule from Speyside, where tradition, passion and quality go hand in hand. This iconic single malt, distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2008, represents the essence of what The Macallan stands for – uncompromising quality and refined taste experiences.
This vintage release is a magnificent example of the art of sherry ageing. It is aged in specially selected Spanish sherry casks from Jerez, which give the whisky its characteristic deep amber colour and complex aromas.
Taste and smell
The nose is filled with intense notes of dried fruit, vanilla, dark chocolate and warm spices – all beautifully balanced with notes of raisins and orange peel. The palate is velvety and complex with flavors of nuts, cinnamon, ripe oak and a pleasant sweetness. The finish is long, well-balanced and warming – an experience that lingers long after the last drop.
A whisky with history and soul
The special thing about the 1990 edition of the Macallan 18 YO is its rarity and authenticity. The youngest component in this blend is 18 years old, but it probably contains older elements, which give it extra layers of nuance. It was already honored as “Best Malt in the World” by Whisky Magazine in 2004 – a title it carries with pride.
As is often the case with Macallan releases from this era, the quality is extremely high – indeed, many collectors and connoisseurs consider the Macallan 18 YO Sherry Oak to be the benchmark for sherry-aged Speyside whisky.
