This 18 years old single malt whisky is a exceptional Macallan malt, selected from the finest Olosoro casks and then bathed in the most sultry of Spanish sherry casks for 18 years and highly ranked and very loved by many collectors. because of the limited release its also very difficult to get these bottles.
Gran Reserva 12 years
Released as a 12 years old for the first time, Gran Reserva is a rich, fruity and full-bodied single malt whisky, matured predominantly in first-fill sherry seasoned European oak casks. Once filled into casks hand-picked by our Master Distiller, previously under the care of our Master of Wood, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed for a full 12 years. Here, inside the carefully sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned oak, this tantalising single malt develops its natural colour, distinctive aromas and lingering flavours.
