Few whiskies carry the same prestige as The Macallan 18 Years Old Sherry Oak. Each release is anticipated by collectors, enjoyed by connoisseurs and admired by anyone who appreciates the depth and richness of true sherry-matured whisky.
But the 2025 release marks something extra special:
a refined new design, a renewed expression of The Macallan’s craftsmanship — and a bottle that will very likely become one of the most collected editions in years.
A whisky built on patience, tradition and exceptional sherry casks
At the heart of the 18 Years Old Sherry Oak Collection lies The Macallan’s longstanding partnership with Spain’s best bodegas.
The whisky matures for a full eighteen years in hand-selected sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, a labour-intensive process that gives this iconic expression its unmistakable character:
-
deep dried fruits
-
warm spices
-
rich oak
-
orange peel
-
dark chocolate
-
hints of ginger and cinnamon
This is classic Macallan — powerful yet elegant, rich without being heavy, complex but perfectly balanced.
It’s the kind of whisky where every sip tells the story of the wood it came from.
What makes the 2025 release unique?
The 2025 edition introduces an updated design that feels more sculpted, more premium and more modern than previous years.
Collectors will immediately notice:
-
a refreshed bottle silhouette
-
a sleeker label layout
-
sharper lines and more contemporary detailing
-
a presentation that aligns with Macallan’s luxury-forward identity
While the whisky stays true to the revered Sherry Oak profile, the new design positions this release as a future classic — one that stands out in any display or collection.
Tasting the 2025 Sherry Oak 18 Years Old
This release delivers everything enthusiasts expect from the series:
Aroma
Rich dried fruits, orange zest, raisins, warm oak and polished wood. Soft spice rising behind it — clove, cinnamon, nutmeg.
Palate
Full-bodied with incredible smoothness.
Notes of sherry-soaked fruits, dark chocolate, dried figs, ginger warmth, and the signature Macallan sweetness.
Finish
Long, elegant and warming, with lingering oak spice and a final touch of dried fruit.
This is a whisky made for slow enjoyment — the kind you savour rather than sip.
