Macallan Whisky

There are single malts, and then there is Macallan. Speyside's most celebrated name has spent two centuries obsessed with one idea: pairing the finest wood with the finest spirit, cask by cask. The result is a whisky so coveted that collectors bid millions for the rarest bottles.

  • Macallan Time Space Sherry Cask Edition Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 44,8%
    Item no.: 5053333-7799

    A decanter with a hole in the middle and whisky all the way round. Macallan has drawn time as a circle with no start and no end, and in this chapter it is Jerez de la Frontera holding the pen. The casks come from the sherry town. The whisky, twenty years in the waiting, comes from the Macallan Estate.

    Expert's Description

    Macallan TIME : SPACE Sherry Cask 20 year is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks and bottled at 44.8%.

    This is the third chapter in the TIME : SPACE Collection, following the two releases that marked Macallan's 200th anniversary, TIME : SPACE and TIME : SPACE Mastery. This time the cask is the main character.

    The whisky began life on the Macallan Estate in a selection of predominantly European oak casks that had held sherry, hand-picked by Macallan's Whisky Mastery Team. After all those years it was married in a selection of the very first 200 casks seasoned in Macallan's own Valdespino bodega in Jerez de la Frontera. The casks were built in Macallan's own cooperages in Jerez and shipped to Scotland, where they were filled in 2024, the anniversary year. Most are still quietly maturing whisky for future releases. Only a small handful were allowed to give this twenty-year-old a second chapter of sherry influence.

    That makes it the first Macallan influenced by casks seasoned with Valdespino sherry since Macallan took over Valdespino. It is also the first time Valdespino sherry has been used to season oak casks for Macallan. Kirsteen Campbell, Master Whisky Maker, stands behind the release, and the colour is entirely natural, taken from the wood alone.

    The bottle is the collection's familiar circular decanter. The box takes its shape from the palomino grapes grown in Valdespino's vineyards, and its warm golden hue is meant to recall the Andalusian sun.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Sherry-soaked raisins, figs and medjool dates, with sweet frangipane, cinder toffee and caramelised nuts. Dark chocolate truffles, cinnamon, star anise and ginger lay a foundation under it all.

    Palate

    Rich and layered. Sultanas, dates and apricots meet sticky ginger cake, treacle toffee, bramble jam and chocolate-coated cherries. Cloves and cinnamon sticks build warmth, before cocoa nibs and polished oak take over.

    Finish

    Warming wood spices, a hint of espresso and waves of gentle oak.

    For the launch, Macallan released the documentary Mastery Beyond Reason, narrated by photographer Steve McCurry. Sommelier Josep Roca features in it, and the film follows the oak from the forests of the USA and Northern Spain through Macallan's own sawmills and cooperages to the bodega in Jerez.

  • Macallan 12 Year Old 110 Proof Sherry Oak Collection Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 55%
    Item no.: 222115145-2026

    Macallan sits half-buried in a hillside above the River Spey, its turf roof rolling like the Easter Elchies countryside around it. For two centuries the people inside have agreed on one thing: the sherry cask calls the shots. With 110 Proof, they have finally turned the volume up.

    Expert description

    Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak 110 Proof is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for 12 years in sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez and bottled at 55%.

    Picture the classic Sherry Oak 12 Year with most of the water left out. The standard bottling is brought down to 40%, while this one stops at 55%. The name comes from the American proof system, where the number is simply double the alcohol percentage. Less water means more of what the casks put in: a denser, almost oily texture and a sherry character that coats the whole mouth.

    The casks are predominantly European oak, with a small share of American oak. They are seasoned with sherry in Jerez de la Frontera, shipped to Scotland and filled with new make spirit from Macallan's famously small copper stills. European oak brings more tannin and darker fruit than American oak, and you can taste it here: dates, cherries and cocoa rather than vanilla and honey. All of the colour comes from the wood, with no caramel added.

    110 Proof first appeared in 2025, when the only way to buy it in Europe was through the British chain The Whisky Shop or directly from Macallan. In autumn 2026 it reached more markets, and it now sits in the Sherry Oak Collection alongside the 18, 25 and 30 year old.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Sticky dates and cherry compote lead the way. Cinnamon and crushed cacao nibs follow, with dried orange slices adding a tart edge to all that sweetness.

    Palate

    Full and warming. Rich oak and sultanas, then stem ginger, star anise and mandarin. Further in, espresso beans dipped in dark chocolate.

    Finish

    Long, with dark treacle toffee and mocha, and a sweet cinnamon that refuses to leave.

    Did you know?

    110 Proof is an American measurement. Under the old British system, where spirit was supposedly tested by checking whether gunpowder soaked in it would still ignite, 100 proof equalled roughly 57.1%. In British terms, this whisky would only be about 96 proof.

  • Macallan The Harmony Collection Vibrant Oak Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 44,2%
    Item no.: 21333-77114

    A coconut split open in the shade, juice running down your wrist, lime cut on a wooden bench. Not the vocabulary you normally reach for with Speyside. But Macallan spent six releases hunting flavours already hiding inside the wood — and this is the last of them.

    Expert Description

    Macallan Harmony Collection Inspired by Fresh Coconut is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in first fill American oak casks and bottled at 46.3%.

    It is the sixth and closing chapter of The Harmony Collection, and the only one in the series where Macallan's Whisky Mastery Team chased a single flavour note instead of building around an age. Nothing coconut is added anywhere. The note comes from oak lactones, a compound occurring naturally in American white oak of the Quercus Alba species, which gives coconut, vanilla and butterscotch when the wood is toasted the right way.

    That is why the entire wood selection was cut to fit one purpose. Only first fill American oak casks were used — some previously holding bourbon, some sherry seasoned. The bourbon casks lift the bright coconut and citrus, while the sherry seasoning lays body and roundness underneath. No age statement on the bottle, because it is the composition that decides here, not a number.

    The colour is entirely natural and sits close to King Coconut, the golden-orange Sri Lankan coconut the distillery itself points to. The bottle reached the market on 4 August 2026 alongside the TimeSpirit dining menu at The Macallan Estate, developed with the Roca brothers of El Celler de Can Roca.

    The box deserves a mention of its own. The paper contains waste coconut fibres, and its black colour comes from charcoal burned from surplus coconut shells in an emission-free process. No black dye brought in from outside — the same principle as the whisky.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh coconut first, then lime zest and orange. Mango and papaya sit behind it, and underneath it all vanilla, almond and a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon.

    Palate

    Sweet lime and lemon meet vanilla sponge and desiccated coconut. Icing sugar and coconut milk make it creamy, while sweet oak and dried tropical fruits keep it from turning soft.

    Finish

    Coconut and floral honey, light and warm, with a flowery note that lingers longer than 46.3% would suggest.

    Did You Know?

    The coconut flavour in whisky has a laboratory name: cis-whiskylactone. The compound was first isolated in whisky, hence the name, and it sits considerably denser in American white oak than in European oak. Macallan, a distillery that built its entire reputation on Spanish sherry casks, turned to the opposite wood to get hold of it.

  • Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 2222786544-4785

    Macallan took the two great oak traditions — European and American — and set them to work together. Double Cask is the result: a whisky that doesn't have to choose sides, but benefits from both.

    Expert description

    Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and bottled at 40%. While the classic Sherry Oak uses only European oak, Double Cask introduces American oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry. American oak provides a softer, sweeter profile with more vanilla and coconut, and the result is a lighter, more accessible Macallan than its Sherry Oak sibling.

    Double Cask is a good entry point into the Macallan range and a great everyday dram. It does not eclipse its older Sherry Oak sibling, but it is more approachable and has broader appeal.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Toffee, banana and fudge with soft sherry. Dark fruit, red berries and mild chocolate with baking spices like cardamom and vanilla.

    Palate

    Marshmallow and anise with ginger and citrus. Medium-thin mouthfeel with light dryness, fig notes and maltiness.

    Finish

    Plums and oaky sherry with smooth, fruity caramel. Long and soothing with vanilla and light black pepper.

    Item no.: 22227865445-19499

    Three more years do more than you might expect. Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask is not simply the 12-year-old with more patience behind it — it is a whisky that has found another gear. More depth, more complexity, more oak.

    Expert description

    Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and bottled at 43%. Like the 12-year-old it uses two cask types — but 15 years in cask delivers a noticeably deeper and more complex profile. European oak contributes dried fruit and warm spices, while American oak adds vanilla and caramel. The result is a whisky with orange peel, light smoke and a finish that surpasses the 12-year-old in length and complexity.

    This has stepped up from everyday dram to an expression worth enjoying slowly. A bottle that deserves time.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dried fruit and butterscotch with baked apple and chocolate. Smooth oak with cinnamon, clove and fig nuances.

    Palate

    Sweet raisin and sultana with cinnamon and nutmeg. Creamy vanilla and black pepper that slowly dries with orange peel.

    Finish

    Long and dry with nutmeg and fresh ginger. Orange peel, ginger warmth and a discreet note of smoke.

    Item no.: 22227865467542

    Eighteen years is not just a number. It is the point where European and American sherry oak have stopped competing and started speaking the same language. Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2024 is the result of that conversation.

    Expert description

    Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2024 Release is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and bottled at 43%. It combines the depth of European sherry oak — dried fruit, warm spice, dark chocolate — with the fruity and creamy contribution of American oak. The 2024 release is the latest annual release in the 18 Year Old Double Cask line, and with 18 years in cask the complexity and integration of the two cask types reaches its peak in the series.

    The bottle works as a gift, as an occasion in itself and as the dram you open when you decide to take your time.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Rich and sweet with orange marmalade, prunes and dried dates. Dark chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg with a hint of tobacco from European oak.

    Palate

    Full and complex — caramelised fruits, fig and a deep sherry sweetness. Warm spice with ginger and black pepper, and a beautiful richness from American oak.

    Finish

    Long and warm with dark wood, vanilla fudge and a lingering orange bitterness. The aftertaste carries for a long time.

    Did you know?

    The Double Cask series was Macallan's answer to whisky drinkers who found the Triple Cask series too complex. By reducing to two cask types — both sherry seasoned but from two different oak species — Macallan created a series that is easier to understand but still has plenty to discover.

    No other whisky has made the sherry cask a world-famous synonym for quality the way Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak has. It is not just an expression — it is a reference point. The bottle against which most others are measured.

    Expert description

    Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks and bottled at 40%. Macallan was one of the first distilleries to systematically use 100% sherry casks for maturation, and the 12 Year Old Sherry Oak is the core expression of that tradition. The oak casks are produced in Spain, seasoned with Oloroso sherry before being sent to Macallan, and give the whisky its characteristic dried fruit, warm spices and silky smooth structure.

    12 years is the classic age, and this is where Macallan's DNA is most clearly expressed. Not too young to have edges, not too old to have freshness.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dried fruit and candied citrus peel with oak, ginger and nutmeg. Raisins, sultanas and orange notes with festive spices like cinnamon and clove.

    Palate

    Raisins and sultanas with ginger syrup and sweet cinnamon. Sherry, plums and powdered sugar sweetness with a silky mouthfeel.

    A British tea company from China meets a Scottish distillery from Speyside. Macallan and Jing Tea set out to find what Phoenix Honey Orchid Oolong and the complexity of sherry casks have in common — and found more than either perhaps expected.

    Expert description

    Macallan Harmony Collection Jing is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43.9%, created in collaboration with Jing Tea. The whisky is inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea — an oolong tea from the mountain range of the same name in China's Guangdong province. Harmony Collection Jing is the fifth release in the series and combines Macallan's cask maturation with the world of tea sensory.

    Tasting notes

    Summery peach and apricot with the heady sweetness of floral honey. Tropical fruits, toffee and sweet oak. Red currants and raspberries, followed by dried dates and light orange peel.

    Palate

    Fresh peaches in rich syrup with warm citrus and toffee. Light floral notes leading to a delicate leafy astringency. Ginger and clove with milk tea warmth, soft vanilla and polished oak.

    Item no.: 059766-785

    In 2018, Macallan launched a series that would challenge everything the distillery had done before. Concept Number 1 is the first bottle — inspired by surrealist art and designed to break with received notions of what Macallan whisky can and should taste like.

    Expert description

    Macallan Concept Number 1 is a discontinued Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from 2018, matured equally in sherry seasoned oak casks and ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 40%. The Concept series was Macallan's response to contemporary art's urge to challenge and provoke — the whisky is made to deviate, not to confirm. The maturation time is split equally between the two cask types, and the result is an expression that is lighter and more citrus-oriented than the classic Macallan expressions dominated by sherry casks.

    As the first in the series and as a discontinued expression, Concept Number 1 attracts attention from collectors. It was not produced in unlimited quantities, and access to bottles continues to decrease.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Butterscotch toffee with almonds and ginger. Cinnamon and dried fruit, citrus and green banana in the background.

    Palate

    Fresh orange and lemon citrus with soft oak spices and ginger. Lively fruit presence with good drive.

    Item no.: 222278333-777412mac200

    The oak is there long before the whisky is. A tree comes down in Ohio, the staves sail to Jerez, and only six years later does Scottish spirit go anywhere near the cask. Vibrant Oak is Macallan saying it out loud: the wood isn't packaging, it's half the flavour.

    Expert's Description

    Macallan The Harmony Collection Vibrant Oak is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in first fill sherry-seasoned American oak casks and refill sherry casks, bottled at 44.2%.

    This is the fourth release in The Harmony Collection, Macallan's annual series built around reusing natural materials. The theme this time is In Harmony with Nature, and it's taken literally: both the gift box and the label itself are made from oak shavings left over from the cooperage, a by-product of building the casks. The bottle went on sale on 1 November 2024, the year the distillery turned 200.

    The label carries a character from the Cirque du Soleil show SPIRIT, which premiered at The Macallan Estate in 2024. Vibrant Oak has a sibling, Guardian Oak, matured in European oak and sold only through airport retail. The two were built as a pair, so you can taste the difference between the two woods side by side.

    American oak is denser in the grain than its European cousin. It gives less tannin and more sweetness, which is why Vibrant Oak is lighter and fresher than the Macallan profile most people know: golden rather than mahogany, vanilla and pale fruit rather than raisin and dark chocolate. The colour comes from the wood alone, with nothing added.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Intense vanilla bean first, then a sharp-sweet fizz of sherbet and lime zest, before fragrant pears settle over the top.

    Palate

    Creamy vanilla panna cotta with buttery shortbread. Lightly toasted coconut and almond brittle follow, and the oak holds it all up without drying the mouth out.

    Finish

    Medium and sweet. The vanilla hangs around and fades slowly.

It isn't numbered, but earlier releases in the series have become hard to track down quickly.

    Did You Know?

    It takes around six years to build a Macallan sherry-seasoned cask before any whisky goes in. The oak is felled at roughly 70 years old in Ohio, Missouri or Kentucky, sits outdoors for a year as logs, is cut into staves and dries for another year in Jerez, before the cooper raises the cask and the sherry gets its turn.

    Rare Cask has been a permanent part of Macallan's range since 2014, and the name isn't just marketing. Each year, the distillery's Whisky Maker works through thousands of maturing casks on Easter Elchies Estate, and only around one percent make the cut for this series. The chosen casks are married into a vatting of roughly 50 sherry-seasoned oak casks, aged between 12 and 18 years, with no single age statement on the bottle itself. It's the composition, not one number on the label, that defines the character.

    Nothing is added to dress up the colour, either. The deep, ruby-mahogany shade is entirely natural and comes from the wood alone – something Macallan itself points to as one of the two pillars the whole Rare Cask series is built on, alongside the sherry-seasoned casks themselves.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Soft vanilla arrives first, quickly followed by ripe raisins and a fresh wave of apple, lemon and sun-ripened orange.

    Palate

    Sweet raisin and vanilla move into dark chocolate, while a touch of citrus zest keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

    Finish

    Long and velvety, with a sherried sweetness that lingers well after the last sip.

    2024 isn't the first time Rare Cask has had an artistic collaborator. In 2022, Macallan worked with violinist Nicola Benedetti, and in 2024 the baton passed to Simple Minds guitarist Charlie Burchill, who compared his own way of building a song note by note to the Whisky Maker's way of building a bottle cask by cask.

  • Secret Speyside 2009/2023 Signatory Vintage 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 059763-615-936

    Behind the label "Secret Speyside" hides one of Scotland's most sought-after distilleries. Signatory Vintage chose well here — 13 years in cask, 46%, bottled in 2023.

    Expert description

    Secret Speyside 2009/2023 Signatory Vintage 13 Year Old is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2023 at 46%. Behind the anonymous name is Macallan distillery — a common practice among independent bottlers who purchase casks directly from distilleries. Signatory Vintage, founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, is one of Scotland's most respected independent bottlers, known for selecting and bottling single cask whiskies with minimal intervention.

    13 years is a fine age for Speyside spirit — old enough to have rounded off the sharper edges, young enough to retain fruit character and vitality. The result is a whisky that moves from a gentle, fruity nose to a lightly sweet, spiced palate with good balance.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Stewed plums and vanilla with soft malt notes. Light shortbread and icing sugar, supported by a hint of citrus and light syrup.

    Palate

    Sweet entry with golden syrup and vanilla cream. Citrus notes emerge — bergamot and pomelo — with light oak behind.

    Finish

    Medium length and sweet with a touch of spiced oak. Banana and soft freshness linger.

  • Speyside (M) 2011/2024 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 059763-615-934

    Signatory Vintage knows what it's doing. When they select a cask from one of Speyside's most iconic distilleries and let it rest for 12 years in Oloroso sherry casks, the result is predictable in the best possible sense.

    Expert's Description

    Speyside (M) 2011/2024 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2024 by independent bottler Signatory Vintage. Matured in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 48.2% as part of Signatory's Small Batch series, Edition #11. The distillery behind the malt is Macallan — one of Speyside's most acclaimed names, whose fruity and sherry-driven character here expresses itself on Signatory's own terms.

    An independent bottling like this provides access to an expression that does not necessarily follow the distillery's own brand or house style. This is the Macallan character seen from the outside — a different experience from opening a bottle from the official range.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    A textbook sherry bomb with bags of raisins, figs, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. Dark sugar, walnut and golden syrup. Bright cherry top notes.

    Palate

    Dried fruits lead with raisins and dried plums. More oak than the nose with notes of charcoal and dark chocolate. Cherry and sherry-soaked orange zest.

    Finish

    Medium to long finish with dark fruits and gentle oak bitterness. The sherry cask's deep imprint lingers for a considerable time.

  • Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2023 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 059763-615-293

    Eighteen years in two types of oak. Macallan's Double Cask philosophy is straightforward: let American and European oak work together to shape the final whisky. Then give it enough time for the two systems to find each other.

    Expert's Description

    Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2023 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for 18 years in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, bottled at 43%. The two cask types complement each other: American sherry oak lends citrus, vanilla and butterscotch, while European sherry oak provides gentle spice and depth. The 2023 release is the current vintage of one of Macallan's most classic age-stated expressions.

    For many collectors, Macallan 18 Year Old is a benchmark — not because it surprises, but because it consistently delivers on its promise. That's no small thing.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dried fruit and ginger with toffee and rich orange. Hints of clove and nutmeg.

    Palate

    Rich raisins and sultanas with caramel, vanilla and ginger. Balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus.

    Finish

    Warm oak spice with ginger that softens into sweet orange. Long and well-integrated.

    Investment Potential

    Medium — Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask in its vintage-limited 2023 release is attracting growing interest on the secondary market as retailer stocks are depleted. The Macallan 18 Year Old series is generally sought-after given the distillery's reputation and the documented complexity that age brings.

    Did you know?

    Macallan uses exclusively small copper pot stills — among the smallest in Scotland. They are designed to maximise contact between vapours and the copper surface, contributing to the distillery's characteristically fruity and soft house style.

    Item no.: 222278333-777412

    Autumn on Speyside — golden fields and orchards settling into rest. Harmony Collection Amber Meadow is made for the season that smells of ripe fruit and warm cinnamon. A whisky that invites slow, deliberate breathing.

    Expert description

    Macallan Harmony Amber Meadow is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in European Oloroso sherry casks and ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 44.2%. Amber Meadow is the autumn edition in Macallan's Harmony Collection — a series that combines whisky with sustainable thinking, with packaging made from recycled materials. The sherry casks contribute dried fruit, fig and toffee, while the ex-bourbon casks add honey, coconut and light spice.

    This is a whisky that tastes like its name — a golden autumn meadow bottled.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Golden apple and honey-drizzled apricot with soft cinnamon. Elderflower sweetness, coconut and citrus peel in the background.

    Palate

    Vanilla pod and toasted almonds with fresh pear and honeydew melon. A green tea note runs through the middle with soft sweetness.

  • Macallan Harmony Collection Intense Arabica Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 2222786555-3369999

    Espresso and sherry oak. It sounds strange until you have it in the glass and realise the two things never should have met in a more logical way. Macallan Harmony Intense Arabica is coffee and whisky, and it works.

    Expert description

    Macallan Harmony Collection Intense Arabica is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry casks, including casks previously used to season Arabica coffee beans, and bottled at 44%. It is part of Macallan's Harmony Collection, which explores the interplay between whisky and natural ingredients. Intense Arabica is inspired by the intense espresso experience and uses coffee casks as an additional layer of flavour complexity — the seasoned coffee casks contribute dark coffee and chocolate notes without overwhelming the whisky.

    The bottle is packaged in material made from recycled coffee grounds from Arabica production — a design that is sustainable from core to capsule.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Rich espresso and dark chocolate with roasted coffee and sherry sweetness. Dates and dried fruit with vanilla and orange zest in the background.

    Palate

    Intense and full — coffee, dark chocolate and raisin. The sherry carries the fruitiness while the coffee note offers a fresh bitterness that balances the sweetness.

    Finish

    Long and rich with espresso, creamy chocolate and a flash of orange. The bitterness fades and leaves a warm, lightly sweetened oak finish.

  • Macallan Edition No 6 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2020 Limited Edition
    Item no.: 22227865445-19446

    Edition No 6 was the last in Macallan's Edition series — and it signed off with one of the heaviest sherry cask compositions in the range. 74% sherry butt casks and 48.6% — not a rounding off, but a definitive statement.

    Expert description

    Macallan Edition No 6 is a discontinued Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from 2020, matured in 26% sherry seasoned hogsheads and 74% sherry seasoned butts and bottled at 48.6%. The Edition series was Macallan's annual limited edition range, combining the distillery's whisky with creative collaborations. Edition No 6 was created in collaboration with Master of Wood Stuart MacPherson and focused on the role of wood itself in whisky. The cask composition is heavy and sherry-dominated — and that is clear in the glass.

    As the closing release in a well-known series, No 6 is particularly sought after by collectors. It is discontinued and no longer in production. Availability continues to fall.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Toffee apples, plums and peaches in syrup with orchard blossom and vanilla. Prunes, beeswax and honeyed fruits with dark chocolate and toffee.

    Palate

    Sultana raisins and walnuts with creamy fudge, ginger and raspberries. Black pepper and cinnamon with sultanas and cocoa.

    Item no.: 22227865445-10208

    Macallan Quest was made for those who move. A Travel Retail exclusive designed for the airport shop, but with enough substance to stand up at home. Now discontinued — but still to be found.

    Expert description

    Macallan Quest is a discontinued Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky with no age statement (NAS), bottled at 40%. Quest was launched in 2018 as a replacement for the 1824 Collection in the Travel Retail segment and is matured in four cask types: ex-bourbon casks, sherry seasoned European oak casks, sherry seasoned American oak casks and hogsheads. The combination creates an expression with fruity freshness and lightly spiced sweetness — accessible and well balanced.

    As a NAS whisky, Quest is designed for consistency rather than vintage depth. It is a whisky that works without demanding anything of the drinker.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Soft and welcoming with ripe mandarin and apricot. Vanilla sugar, toasted oak and a light spicy hint in the background.

    Palate

    Ripe mandarin and dried fruit with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Caramel sweetness runs through the middle.

    Item no.: 22227865445-51

    Mahogany in the glass. Warm spices in the air. Macallan Sienna carries its colour with pride — not a choice, but a promise of what sherry oak can do when given time to leave its mark.

    Expert description

    Macallan Sienna 1824 Series is a discontinued Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured exclusively in Spanish sherry casks — European and American oak — and bottled at 43%. It was part of Macallan's 1824 Collection, which used colour as a guide to intensity: Gold, Amber, Sienna and Ruby. Sienna was the third most intense expression in the series, and its deep terracotta hue reflects a long and richly sherried life in cask.

    The collection has been discontinued, making Sienna a sought-after bottle for collectors and Macallan enthusiasts. The powerful sherry-driven flavour notes are undeniable.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dried fruit and orange marmalade with prunes, dates and dark chocolate. Rich sherry with cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of smoke.

    Palate

    Full and sweet with fig, raisin and caramelised orange. Warm spice with ginger, clove and dry oak.

    Long and warm with dark chocolate, dried fruits and a soft oak bitterness. Sherry sweetness carries through to the last.

    The 1824 Series used the colour of the whisky as a sort of menu for intensity — no age statement, just colour as the guide. Sienna represented the second deepest shade in the series, and the colour came entirely from sherry cask maturation, not from colouring.

About Macallan

Macallan isn't just another Speyside distillery – it's the benchmark others are measured against. Since 1824 the house has pursued an almost fanatical devotion to "wood and spirit," the belief that most of a whisky's character comes from the cask. For newcomers that means a full-bodied, sherry-sweet dram loaded with dried fruit and spice; for collectors it means one of the world's most traded whisky names, where even a standard bottle sells within minutes and the rarest vintages change hands for millions at auction.

History & Background

Alexander Reid founded the distillery in 1824 at the Easter Elchies estate near Craigellachie, one of the first licensed under the Excise Act that same year. Through the 20th century the house built its reputation around deep sherry cask maturation, a philosophy that truly broke through internationally in the 1980s. Today Macallan is owned by Edrington, and in 2018 a new, dome-shaped distillery designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners opened on the estate.

Production & Style

Macallan uses some of Scotland's smallest spirit stills, giving more copper contact and a heavier, oilier spirit. Most of the production matures in European and American oak previously seasoned with sherry in Jerez, with casks hand-selected by the house's own coopers year after year.

Signature Style

Full-Bodied, Sherry-Sweet, Spicy
The flavour offers dried fruit, orange peel and raisin, bound together by warm spice and a light, oak-driven smokiness on the finish.
