Introduction: The Macallan Classic Sydney Cask Series is the most representative work of the Macallan Distillery. It is blended with a variety of single malt whiskeys and matured in carefully selected Jerez (Jerez) Sherry oak barrels. The Macallan insists on maturing its own single malt whiskey in 100% Sydney casks. The rare and precious top European Sydney casks create a whiskey with natural color, full-bodied sweet taste and complex layers. It took six years to obtain materials from the original oak forest in northern Spain until the winery process of moistening barrels was completed in southern Spain. The advantages in oak barrels are unmatched by other wineries. The Macallan 18 Years Sherry Oak Cask Highland Single Malt Whiskey box is specially marked with the word "Jerez", one of the famous Spanish sherry wine DO producing areas (the other two coastal DO producing areas: the towns of Sanlucar deBarrameda and El Puerto de Santa The Oloroso Sherry or PX Sherry produced by Maria (collectively known as the Iron Triangle of Sherry Wine) will be matured in Sydney casks to make the whiskey darker, and will also infuse more fruity aromas, raisins, chocolate, nuts, caramel aromas and a full and sweet taste. , which is one of the reasons why Macallan whiskey is especially popular with Asians.

Each Macallan single malt whiskey demonstrates a commitment to cooperage and distillery unmatched by The Macallan since its founding in 1824. Such perseverance is the expression of unremitting efforts, wanting to go beyond the ordinary, pursue excellence, and create the perfect single malt whiskey. The distillery is firmly committed to sherry casks as the essence of The Macallan single malt whiskey and our reputation for excellence is a testament to the absolute excellence of the casks used to craft the whiskey. These carefully selected wine barrels, from material selection, production, firing to barrel conditioning, have all been strictly checked by The Macallan Master Cooper to meet the ultra-high standards of The Macallan Master Winemaker and his team.
Once casked, the maturing spirit is aged in the same casks for the desired number of years in accordance with the desired flavor profile of the particular Macallan. The essence of The Macallan single malt whiskey is its exceptional quality, natural colour, and distinctive aroma and flavour, and it is these oak casks that contribute most to these characteristics.
【The Macallan, one of the most famous distilleries in Scotland】
The Macallan is one of Scotland's most famous distilleries, producing one of the best-selling single malt whiskeys in the world. The distillery is on the banks of the River Spey in the heart of Speyside, on the Easter Elchies estate, which covers 158 hectares (390 acres) of farmland. The estate includes 37 hectares (90 acres) of barley for the production of whiskey.
In June 2018, the property opened a new winery building with a visitor center. The ultra-modern facility has been cut into the hillside and features a spectacular undulating, grass-covered timber roof. There are now 12 washing stills, plus 24 stills. Production will increase by a third. With a total of 14 stills, it is said to be the smallest still in Speyside, despite having a capacity of 3900 liters each.
The Macallan Family Style has traditionally leaned towards a full-bodied, fruity whiskey, described by the late whiskey writer Michael Jackson as "Christmas cake in a glass". This is the result of the exclusive use of sherry casks to age the spirits, but since 2004 bourbon casks have also been used. The Macallan produces a wide range of whiskeys, spanning four main lines. The Sherry Oak range includes four expressions ranging in age from 12 to 30 years. The "Premium Oak" range—aged primarily in bourbon barrels—offers eight different vintages aged between 10 and 30 years. These tend to be lighter than traditional Macallan products.
The distillery also has a variety of premium collections, an example of which is one of the most expensive whiskeys ever made. A 1926 Macallan sold for $54,000 at auction in 2007, while a 64-year-old one-off Lalique bottle fetched $460,000 at a 2010 New York auction. Priced to sell. The most expensive whiskey ever sold was a bottle of Macallan M in Hong Kong which fetched $628,000 in 2014.
