This expression, which is produced at The Macallan distillery as a part of their Exceptional Cask line, was created in early 2002 and aged for more than ten years in a hogshead made of European oak and sherry. Exclusively 283 bottles were made and they were only available in Europe and directly from The Macallan when it was first bottled in the spring of 2018.
On the nose, look for figs, dried fruit, and ginger scents. Prior to a long finish flavored with dates and orange zest, the palate offers additional ginger, stewed fruits, and sultanas.

About The Brand: Macallan
In Craigellachie, Moray, Scotland, there is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery called The Macallan. A completely owned subsidiary of Edrington, The Macallan Distillers Ltd. acquired the Highland Distillers trademark in 1999. Next to Glenfiddich and, by some estimates, Glenlivet, The Macallan is widely regarded as the second- or third-highest-selling single-malt scotch. The Macallan was first solely aged in wood sherry barrels that were sent to the distillery from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The Fine Oak series, a new flagship offering from The Macallan that debuted in 2004, has whiskey that has been aged in bourbon oak barrels in addition to sherry casks. The Triple Cask Matured range replaced the Fine Oak line as of 2018. On our estate in Speyside, Scotland, is where the Macallan Distillery is located. Here, in a place fit for the attitude it reflects, we craft our unmatched single malts. Just 400 meters from our former distillery and next to Easter Elchies House, our distillery was created by the highly regarded international architectural firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.
