The Sherry Oak range is exclusively matured in sherry seasoned casks, built from both Spanish and American oak, for a beautifully dark, full flavoured single malt whisky, rich in aromas and flavours.  The Macallan imports the majority of all new oak sherry casks imported into Scotland from Spain to mature Scotch whisky. These are the most expensive of all the cask types used to mature Scotch whisky.

 

Nose: Very fruity, with notes orange and pear on the nose.  Also has a good dollop of sweet spices which develop into an almost smoky character.  The sherry on the nose is refined and well balanced, with hints of honey and caramel.

Palate: Textbook malt delivery which gives way to a mouthful of dried apricots, prunes and figs.  Hints of nutmeg and cinnamon weave in and out of an epic whack of honey that only a Speyside distillery of this kind of nobility can produce.

Finish: A long, full finish that carries fig, spices, chewy oak and a touch of light smoke.
