Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky

750ml & 86 Proof

Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a Scotch from the Macallan Whisky brand hailing from Scotland.

What is Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky?

Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is renowned for its rich, complex flavors developed through a quarter-century of aging in hand-selected sherry oak casks. Interestingly, each bottle of this prestigious whisky contains spirit from casks that have been air-dried in Spain for up to 18 months before being filled with sherry, a process that helps impart the whisky's signature deep color and distinctive flavors.

Why do we love Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky?

Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky stands out for its exceptionally long maturation in hand-selected sherry oak casks, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile with notes of dried fruits, spices, and chocolate. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane byproducts, this single malt Scotch whisky is crafted from malted barley and pure spring water from Macallan's own springs on their 485-acre estate in Speyside, Scotland, giving it a distinctive character that reflects its terroir and meticulous production process.

How do you drink Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky?

Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is best savored neat or with a few drops of water to open up its complex flavors, ideally from a Glencairn glass to concentrate its rich aromas. This luxurious spirit shines brightest on cool autumn evenings, paired with dark chocolate or aged cheese, though it's equally at home as a digestif after a hearty meal of game or red meat.

Nose: Rich sherry notes dominate, accompanied by dried fruits like raisins and figs. Traces of orange peel, cinnamon, and nutmeg add complexity. A subtle oak influence provides depth, with hints of polished leather and old books.

Palate: Full-bodied and luxurious. Dark chocolate and espresso flavors mingle with stewed fruits and Christmas cake spices. Citrus zest and ginger provide a lively contrast. Mature oak tannins lend structure without overpowering.

Finish: Long and warming. Dried fruit sweetness lingers, balanced by gentle spices and oak. A slight nuttiness emerges, reminiscent of toasted hazelnuts. The sherry influence remains prominent, leaving a pleasant dryness that invites another sip.

Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted using malted barley that's fermented and distilled in copper pot stills, then aged for a quarter-century in hand-picked sherry oak casks from Jerez, Spain. These seasoned casks impart rich, complex flavors and a deep amber color to the whisky, while the extended maturation allows the spirit to develop its signature smoothness and depth.
