- Description
- Macallan's 2020 release of this 25-year-old was matured exclusively in hand-picked oloroso sherry casks from Jerez, creating a spirit shaped entirely by Spanish wood influence. The nose carries orange, cinnamon, and wood smoke; the palate reveals dried fruit and crystallised ginger with the weight expected from a quarter-century of sherry aging. A classic expression for those who prefer traditional, cask-driven Speyside character.
