Macallan introduces a new Sherry Oak 40 Years Old for 2017
This year's expression was matured in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks.
The Macallan
The Macallan is back with another 40 Years Old expression for 2017 and this time they've used a whiskey that's been matured in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. The entire process requires two sherry butt casks and 1 sherry hogshead cask to create the copper-colored formula. The flavor profile is described to have a nose of gingers, wood spice, sweet cinnamon and citrus with a palate of soft cinnamon spices, date, and figs and a finish of cinnamon spice.
The whiskey will be available later this month with only 465 bottles available worldwide with 70 of those bottles allocated to the US.
