The Macallan 10 Year Old Fine Oak
Part of The Macallan’s now-discontinued Fine Oak series, this 10 Year Old expression is triple cask matured in a combination of European oak sherry casks, American oak sherry casks, and American oak bourbon casks. This unique maturation process results in a refined and approachable single malt with layered complexity, showcasing The Macallan’s craftsmanship beyond its traditional sherry cask style. Bottled at 40% ABV, it remains a collector’s favourite for its smooth character and rarity.
