Part of the newly introduced Colour Collection, The Macallan 18 Year Old is a refined single malt matured in American oak casks with a delicate influence of European oak. Both cask types were sherry seasoned in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, showcasing The Macallan’s ongoing dedication to natural colour and sherry-seasoned wood.

This expression offers a vibrant flavour profile, highlighting sweet oak, orange citrus, and honeycomb, all presented in a naturally auburn hue. It represents a new era for Macallan, focused on clarity, craftsmanship, and colour without compromise.
