Part of the Exceptional Single Cask series from The Macallan, this single cask release was distilled in April 1997 and matured for more than 22 years in a European oak sherry butt. The cask was reserved in April 2019 by Whisky Maker Sarah Burgess for inclusion in the prestigious ESC series. Bottled in August of that year at a natural cask strength of 57.6% abv, just 581 bottles were produced as an exclusive for the European, Asian and Global Travel Retail markets, with bottles also available direct from The Macallan. The nose has smoked almonds and cloves, with orange oil, dried fruits and mature oak. The palate brings a sweet and spicy ginger to the fore, with oak spice, liquorice and bitter orange, before a medium length finish with a dry nuttiness.~ Master of Malt

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.
