25 Year Old Sherry Oak
⏳ Drinking Window
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.
🍽️ Food & Wine Pairings
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.
✨ Technical Specifications
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.
