Compare with

Frequently asked
Why is Sherry Oak more expensive than Double Cask at the same age?
Sherry-seasoned European oak casks from Jerez are Macallan's most valuable resource. Using 100% Sherry Oak (rather than mixing with cheaper American oak) commands the premium.
Is 18 Sherry Oak the definitive Macallan?
Many purists consider 18 Sherry Oak the definitive Macallan — old enough for full complexity, young enough for accessibility, in the historic house style. A defensible answer to "what is Macallan?"
How should I serve it?
Neat in a tulip glass, room temperature. A few drops of water enhance the aromatics further. Never with ice — the sherry richness deserves to be tasted at full intensity.
