About This Whisky

From Macallan's Travel Retail Range - The 1824 Collection - comes this single malt whisky aged in American oak seasoned with sherry and bourbon, and first fill European oak sherry casks. Delightful. Select oak is crafted from an exceptionally wide and unique combination of 5 cask types, delivering extraordinary smoothness, remarkable sweetness and depth. The Macallan Select Oak is a truly timeless whisky. Both oaky and peppery on the nose, with hints of Black Forest gateaux and even marshmallows, this well-balanced, lightly-spiced Highland single malt lives long in the memory.
