The Macallan Carta Nautica 105 Proof Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 52.5% ABV | 105 Proof | 750mL | Scotland | Carta Nautica Collection, Natural Color
Process & Profile
The Macallan Carta Nautica 105 Proof brings together whisky shaped by three cask journeys. The selection includes sherry-seasoned American oak casks, casks that previously held bourbon, and former bourbon casks in which the whisky completed its maturation in sherry-seasoned American oak. Each contributes a different part of the profile: nutty sweetness, bright vanilla and lemon, and layers of rich toffee.
“Carta Nautica” means “nautical chart,” a reference to the routes taken by Macallan’s oak across the Atlantic. Some oak travels from North America directly to Scotland, while some passes through Jerez, Spain, for sherry seasoning. Bottled at 105 proof with natural color, this expression brings those cask influences together in a richly layered single malt.
