WHY: Macallan’s 30 year old Sherry Oak expressionis the oldest whisky in the Sherry Oak range, offering the maximum concentration of rich, robust Sherry flavor and a decadent mouthfeel.
HOW:Macallan’s Sherry Oak range is 100% matured in sherry casks from start to finish. 30 years of Jerez oak maturation gives way to decadent and dessert-like flavors of toffee, candied orange peel, cakebread, and cocoa.
WHAT: Macallan, along with Glenlivet and Glenfiddich, is one of the top selling Scottish single malts today, yet its dominance is a somewhat recent phenomenon. Founded in 1824, it wasn’t until the 1990s that Macallan began actively marketing its impressive library of ultra-mature whiskies. In 1999, the distillery was purchased by the Edrington Group, which began the expansion of both the distillery and the core range of available whiskies.
