WHY:�Macallan�s 12 year old Sherry Oak expression has become one of Scotland�s quintessential single malt whiskies, showcasing the elegant side of what Speyside has to offer: soft, on the palate, a creamy texture, rich flavors of cakebread and Sherry, and a long malty finish.



HOW: Macallan�s Sherry Oak range is 100% matured in Sherry casks from start to finish. That decade-plus of Sherry maturation is what gives Macallan its rich, decadent flavors.




WHAT:�Macallan, along with Glenlivet and Glenfiddich, is one of the top selling Scottish single malts today, yet its dominance is a somewhat recent phenomenon. Founded in 1824, it wasn�t until the 1990s that Macallan began actively marketing its impressive library of ultra-mature whiskies. In 1999, the distillery was purchased by the Edrington Group, which began the expansion of both the distillery and the core range of available whiskies.
