Heritage
🏆Matured Entirely in European Oak — No American Oak
🏆Casks Seasoned in Jerez, Spain
Unlike Macallan's Double Cask range, which blends American and European oak, the Sherry Oak Collection is matured exclusively in European oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry in Jerez — a purer expression of the sherry-cask character the distillery is best known for.

Questions
How is this different from Macallan's Double Cask range?
Double Cask blends American and European oak casks; Sherry Oak is matured entirely in European oak, giving a richer, more traditionally sherried character without any American-oak vanilla influence.
Where do the casks come from?
They're sourced from Jerez, Spain, where they're seasoned with Oloroso sherry before being shipped to Speyside and filled with Macallan's new-make spirit.
What's the best way to serve it?
Neat, in a Glencairn or tulip glass, or with a small splash of water to open up the dried fruit and spice layers.
