- Description
- The Macallan's 1968 vintage represents the distillery's classical era, when exclusively sherry oak maturation was the standard rather than the exception. Nearly two decades in active sherry casks have infused this whisky with deep amber colour and complex dried fruit character. These bottles are scarce enough to warrant preservation as much as enjoyment.
