#MACALLAN WHISKEY SCOTCH SERIES#

However, the greatest contributor to The Macallan’s outstanding quality and distinctive brand aromas and flavours is still their exceptional oak casks. All the rich, fruity and full-bodied flavours of The Macallan comes from these stills.

The unique size and shape is gives the spirit maximum contact with the copper, which gives the spirit a new life. It may be surprising but despite The Macallan’s long history and experience in dealing with the distillation and maturing of malt whisky, The Macallan’s stills, crafted from copper, are the smallest in Speyside. When you have the opportunity to do so, try it as The Macallan 18 Triple Cask is an extraordinarily smooth expression not to be missed. As part of the Fine Oak range, The Macallan 18 Triple Cask is one of the most highly recommended from the range and is aged in matured European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks and American ex-bourbon oak casks. The Macallan also started to create and offer single malt expressions that have been vatted with whisky that is matured in used casks. Other, more expensive versions of the Sherry Oak series, such as the 25 year old, 30 year old and 40 year old can also be bought. The most generally available bottle is The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak though The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak is also widely distributed throughout the world.

However, come 2018, the Fine Oak series was renamed to become the Triple Cask Matured range.Īs you can imagine, the Macallan has produced a number of expressions worth taking note of, particularly in its core series - Sherry Oak. In this series, the whisky is mellowed in bourbon oak casks and sherry casks. In 2004, a new product range was introduced by The Macallan as the Fine Oak series. Most of The Macallan’s best whisky is matured in oak sherry casks that are brought to the distillery from Jerez de la Frontera in Spain.

The magic starts in The Macallan distillery.
