Process & Profile

The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year Old is matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned European oak casks, a hallmark of the Sherry Oak Collection. These casks are sourced from Jerez, Spain, seasoned with Oloroso sherry, and crafted to impart deep notes of dried fruit, spice, and rich oak. As of 2025, this expression is presented in The Macallan’s refreshed bottle and packaging—introduced as part of a modernized visual identity—featuring cleaner lines, updated labeling, and a richer color palette that distinguishes the Sherry Oak series. The whisky inside remains faithful to its long-established profile: rich, full-bodied, and unmistakably sherried.
