The pinnacle of The Macallan Sherry Oak Collection, the 2024 Release is an exquisite single malt matured for three decades in hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. The result is a whisky of exceptional depth and complexity — deliciously smooth with a long, rich finish, and a natural dark mahogany colour, the deepest in the range. Expressing refined notes of ginger, orange, and wood spice, this release embodies the harmony of craftsmanship and time. Photographer Erik Madigan Heck captures the whisky’s warm tones and layered character, inspired by flavour notes of honeyed figs, chocolate orange, and subtle cinnamon — a visual reflection of its timeless elegance.
