Stories Behind the Artwork
Once our casks are approved, they travel to our sherry bodegas, where grapes grow in the albariza soil of Jerez. Once in the bodegas, the casks are filled with a variety of dry sherry and left to rest and season. This is a fundamental period where the essence of Jerez wine, sherry, meets oak, with the wood absorbing the sweet wine and resulting in remarkable flavours.
During maturation, The Macallan new make spirit mingles with the sherry seasoned oak to deliver its unique and exceptional character.
