- Description
- Distilled in January 1989 and aged for 14 years in a single oloroso butt before bottling in 2003, this Exceptional Single Cask represents Macallan at cask strength (59.2% ABV). The extended maturation in Spanish sherry wood would have developed deep amber hues with rich, layered complexity from the oloroso influence. A definitive single-cask experience for serious collectors seeking uncompromised character.
