The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak 2016 is a classic from the Macallan distillery and a sought-after collector's item for whisky enthusiasts worldwide. This vintage whisky is matured exclusively in carefully selected European oak sherry casks from Jerez, Spain – and it shows in every drop.
With 18 years of maturation, the whisky offers impressive depth and elegance. It has an intense amber colour and an aroma profile full of dried fruit, spices, dark chocolate and orange peel. The taste is silky smooth with notes of raisins, cinnamon, vanilla and oak, leading to a long and complex finish with a touch of smoky wood and sweet sherry.
This bottle from the 2016 vintage is particularly sought after for its balance and structure, and represents the Macallan's iconic sherry style in the most distinguished way. Perfect for the discerning connoisseur - or as an investment in a whisky that will only become rarer with time.
