Macallan Sienna

Bold, deep, and unforgettable. The Macallan Sienna is a rare testament to the art of Speyside whisky, created for connoisseurs with a taste for the unsurpassed.

Why choose The Macallan Sienna?

The Macallan Sienna is part of the exclusive 1824 Series, which celebrates natural colour and exceptional sherry cask maturation. This edition is no longer in production and is now a sought-after collector's item – and a pleasure to enjoy.

The whisky is matured exclusively in first-class Oloroso sherry casks of European and American oak, which provide incredible complexity and warm depth. The name "Sienna" refers to the natural amber-golden colour, achieved without artificial colouring – a signature of Macallan's uncompromising quality.

Do not hesitate – once the bottles are gone, they are gone forever. Perfect for both the collection and that special moment.

Aroma

The nose opens with a symphony of warm cinnamon sticks, dried orange peel, and dark chocolate. A hint of vanilla and lightly toasted hazelnuts follows quickly, creating an enchanting, full-bodied scent.

Beneath the surface, a discreet sweetness from dried fruit emerges – figs and dates – which adds a rich depth to the aromatic experience. The aroma profile is elegant and balanced with a complexity that invites contemplation.

Taste

The taste experience is intense from the first moment. Soft, silky-smooth notes of orange peel, raisins, and ripe cherries dance on the tongue, accompanied by warm spices like nutmeg and clove.

The mid-palate reveals layers of dark caramel, light toffee, and exclusive Spanish oak, which provide a creamy structure with body and finesse. The texture is rich, with a luxurious mouthfeel that testifies to the care and patience Macallan has put into this maturation.

Finish

The finish is long, soft, and refined. Spice notes like cinnamon and ginger merge with a persistent sweetness from dried fruits and sherry, which lingers long after the last sip.

It is all rounded off with a touch of oak, which adds character and elegance. A worthy end to an exceptional whisky experience.
