RICH. SPICE. DRIVEN FRUIT
When matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain, Macallan transforms rich, fruity and full-bodied new make spirit into a classic single malt.
Once filled, the matured spirit remains undisturbed in the same casks for 12 years, coming together in this rich and complex whisky, characterized by spice and dried fruit and a naturally rich golden colour.
AROMA
Complex with hints of vanilla.
TASTE
Soft, medium balanced with fruit, oak and spices.
