The Macallan Sherry Oak Collection 2025 Release: tradition and artistry renewed
The new The Macallan Sherry Oak Collection 2025 Release arrives with a refreshed look that strengthens the bond between whisky craftsmanship and contemporary art. The collection, comprising single malt whiskies aged 12, 18, 25 and 30 years, is presented with an updated aesthetic that merges the distillery’s classic elegance with the unmistakable creative style of David Carson. The bottle and box feature a design that plays with reddish hues, free typography and unexpected layouts, evoking the sherry and oak nuances that define the essence of this series.
In the heart of Speyside, Scotland, lies the 485-acre estate where this whisky is born. There, Easter Elchies House, a Highland manor house, serves as both emblem and guardian of the brand’s legacy. Perched on a hill overlooking the River Spey, it is not only a historic landmark but also the spiritual soul of The Macallan. Its image appears on every label as a reminder of the union between tradition, nature and community.
David Carson’s artistry in the new design
For this edition, The Macallan has collaborated with designer David Carson, renowned for his disruptive style free from rigid structures. His work with papers, paints and natural elements gives rise to unique creations where overlapping images, altered typography and free compositions coexist. The result is a presentation that conveys the energy of sherry oak, the richness of red tones and the contrast with white, symbolising American oak. Every visual detail connects with the history and character of the whisky within the bottle.
Maturation in sherry casks
The Sherry Oak Collection is distinguished by its ageing in European oak casks seasoned with sherry wine. These casks bring a unique complexity to the whisky, imbuing the spirit with deep notes that evolve over the years. Each of the four whiskies in the collection undergoes a slow and precise maturation, where the interaction between wood and spirit shapes a robust, elegant and timeless personality.
The fusion of tradition and creativity
The 2025 edition not only renews the outward appearance but also reaffirms the values that have guided the brand since its origins. Aesthetic innovation and artistic vision join centuries of distilling heritage in small stills, with meticulous attention at every stage. Carson’s presentation offers a different visual reading of what sherry maturation means, while the whisky itself remains true to The Macallan’s identity.
Perfect moments to enjoy
The whiskies of the Sherry Oak Collection are ideal for special celebrations or for those seeking a tasting experience rooted in Scottish tradition. Their structured character makes them a perfect companion for long after-dinner conversations, intimate gatherings or moments of personal reflection.
