Twenty-Five Years of Sherry Oak
Since 1824, The Macallan has built its reputation on one obsession: exceptional oak. The Sherry Oak range matures exclusively in sherry-seasoned casks sourced from Jerez, Spain — and the 25 Year Old is that philosophy at full stretch: the same casks, undisturbed, for a quarter of a century. The 2022 annual release pours rich mahogany with the distillery's official profile of citrus, cinnamon, dried fruit, and wood smoke. Demand routinely outstrips supply on this bottling; when it's gone, it's gone. Browse more The Macallan and our Scotch whisky collection.

How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass — a whisky this old and this oaked needs nothing but time and attention. The empty wooden box makes a fine keepsake.
