The Macallan Sherry Oak 30 Years Old (2024 Release) is an exquisite single malt that has been matured for 30 years in carefully selected European oak casks that were previously used for sherry in Jerez. This long-matured whisky unfolds aromas of dried fruit, dark chocolate and oriental spices, with a finish that is soft and pleasant on the palate.
The nose reveals notes of honey, figs, chocolate orange and a subtle hint of cinnamon. The colour is deep mahogany. The taste is rich and rounded, with integrated barrel character, warm spices and a persistent finish that draws towards dried fruit and spice.
Featured in The Macallan’s “Sherry Oak” collection, the whisky demonstrates mastery in the balance between wood, sherry and spirit. The role of the wood is central — the oak (and cask management) shapes the layers of flavour you experience.
This release is intended for collectors and connoisseurs who desire a whisky with time, depth and character. It stands as a modern icon in The Macallan's range.
