What it’s like

The most traditional version of The Macallan, matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez. It is the style that made the distillery famous: dense, dark and indulgent, with raisins, candied orange, ginger and wood. The colour comes from the cask, with no added colouring, according to the brand. Smoke-free, it is an essential reference for understanding sherried whisky and a safe bet for those who enjoy flavours of dried fruit and spice.

Nose
Raisins, candied orange and ginger, with vanilla, wood and a touch of clove.
Palate
Rich and honeyed. Dried fruit, toffee and spice, with noticeable oak.
Finish
Medium to long, spicy and with hints of dried fruit.
