- Description
- The Macallan's 15-year-old Gran Reserva from 2017 matured predominantly in first-fill European oak sherry casks selected by the distillery's Master of Wood, yielding a rich mahogany colour and complex dried-fruit character. The sherry influence builds layers of raisin, dried cherry, and warm spice while maintaining the distillery's signature refined Speyside identity. Bottled at 43% ABV, this expression suits those seeking traditional sherry-cask maturation without the price premium of The Macallan's older vintages.
