- Description
- The Macallan's Exceptional Single Cask series showcases Speyside single malt at its most refined, with this 16-year-old matured in European oak sherry hogshead and bottled at natural cask strength (57.8% ABV). The extended sherry influence brings layers of dried fruit, rich chocolate, and warming spice, while the cask imparts a deep mahogany color and velvety texture. A limited release of just 283 bottles, this represents The Macallan's commitment to single-cask quality. Best savored neat or with minimal water to appreciate its complexity and depth.
