The Macallan Litha Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Macallan Litha Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a 700mL, 40% ABV (80 proof) single malt matured exclusively in first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain — bottled at natural color with no age statement. Litha is Macallan's ode to the sherry cask: 100% first-fill seasoning means the oak arrives saturated with Oloroso character, giving a young whisky uncommon depth — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Few distilleries invest in wood like The Macallan. Its Easter Elchies estate in Speyside is built on a simple article of faith: the cask contributes up to 80% of a whisky's final character. For Litha, only first-fill casks seasoned with sherry in Jerez make the cut — the most flavor-active oak in the warehouse — so even without an age statement, the whisky pours with the richness Macallan's sherry-matured style is famous for.
Tasting notes (retailer consensus): aromas of butterscotch, vanilla, chocolate, and citrus with a tropical-fruit lift; a palate of vanilla ice cream, berry compote, toasted oak, salted caramel, and pecans; a medium finish of fruit, vanilla, and gentle oak.
Why buy: First-fill sherry casks are the most expensive oak in Scotch — Litha is the accessible entry into Macallan's sherry-seasoned style, and the 700mL format makes it a natural gift bottle. Explore more Scotch at Del Mesa Liquor or browse The Macallan at Del Mesa Liquor.
