Whisky Macallan Sherry Oak 25 Years 2022 Release (Highland)

The Macallan Sherry Oak 25 Years Old is a unique piece of art.

The Macallan Sherry Oak 25 Year Old whisky is part of the Sherry Oak range, which is composed of a number of single malt whiskies matured exclusively in carefully selected oak casks that have previously held sherry from the Sherry Oak region to give them intensity and complexity.

This special single malt provides an intensely pronounced character full of citrus, dried fruit and smoky wood flavours.

This distinctive single malt is matured for 25 years and only in oak casks that have previously held oloroso sherry from Jerez, Spain.

The spirit ages undisturbed in the same casks for a quarter of a century and is transformed to create this luxurious single malt whisky characterised by intense flavours of vanilla, dried fruits and ginger spice with a lingering finish and dark mahogany colour.

The Cask

Every Macallan single malt reveals the unrivalled commitment to the mastery of wood and distilling for which The Macallan has been known since it was founded in 1824. It is an expression of our enduring desire to go beyond the ordinary, to seek the extraordinary, and to produce unrivalled single malts.

With an unwavering commitment to making sherry casks a fundamental part of The Macallan single malt, our reputation for seeking the extraordinary serves as testament to the exceptional oak casks in which we mature our spirit. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the careful supervision of The Macallan's Master of Wood, these carefully selected casks meet the exacting specifications of The Macallan's Master Distiller and his team.

Once filled, the spirit ages undisturbed in the same casks for as many years as it takes to be worthy of the Macallan expression for which it is intended. It is these oak casks that contribute most to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours that are at the heart of a Macallan single malt.

How to drink a The Macallan Sherry 25 Year Old?

Inspired by the cocktail culture of Japan, where bartenders hand-carve ice balls to create sculpted spheres that slowly melt, The Macallan Ice Ball brings together magic, theatre and art to create the perfect cocktail.

The ice balls melt slowly to cool the whisky while releasing less water, preserving the identity of this classic Macallan single malt and its individual flavours from start to finish.
