25 Year Old Sherry Oak
⏳ Drikkevindue
Best enjoyed at room temperature, approximately 15 to 18 degrees Celsius (60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit), to allow the complex aromas to unfold. It is ideally served as a digestif or during formal tasting sessions.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Serve neat in a tulip-shaped tasting glass, or with a few drops of room-temperature spring water to open up the aromas. It pairs exceptionally well with high-quality dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), mature blue cheeses like Stilton, or rich, gamey dishes such as roasted venison.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak is a single malt Scotch whisky distilled in Speyside, Scotland. It is distilled in small copper pot stills and matured for a minimum of twenty-five years exclusively in Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. This extensive maturation in sherry wood imparts a natural deep mahogany color and a complex profile characterized by notes of dried fruits, ginger, wood smoke, and rich spices. It is bottled at 43% ABV.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
The Macallan Distillery blev grundlagt i 1824 af Alexander Reid og troner over floden Spey fra den historiske Easter Elchies-ejendom i Craigellachie, Speyside. Destilleriet, som i dag er en del af Edrington Group, er verdensberømt for sin kompromisløse fadstyring og sit enestående fokus på skræddersyede, sherrykrydrede egetræsfade fra Jerez i Spanien. Takket være de karakteristiske, usædvanligt små kobberkedler skaber The Macallan en bemærkelsesværdigt fyldig og rig spiritus med en dyb, naturlig farve samt præg af tørret frugt og varme krydderier. Destilleriets signaturaftapninger – herunder de ikoniske Sherry Oak 12, 18 og 25 års udgaver – regnes i dag blandt verdens mest eftertragtede og toneangivende single malt skotske whiskier.
