How The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year Old is Made
Each cask used in creating this expression is hand-picked and crafted under the watchful eye of The Macallan's Master of Wood, then seasoned with Oloroso sherry in Jerez, Spain. The spirit remains undisturbed in these same casks for all 12 years of maturation, allowing the whisky to develop its natural rich golden colour and complex character. This patient maturation process, combined with Macallan's iconic small copper stills, creates a wonderfully rich and complex single malt.
