Macallan (The) 18 years Of. Sherry Seasoned Oak Casks from Jerez - Annual 2020 Release

The wine

A Macallan 18 year old distilled in 1976 and bottled in 1995. There have been many Macallan 18 Year Olds since the first release in 1984 of a 1965 distillation. When Macallan recovered its bottling rights from Campbell, Hope and King in 1980, it added a 17 year old and 18 year old to the existing range, which was until then focused on vintage 15 year olds and, to a lesser extent, 8 year olds and 12 year olds. It was this 18 year old that became a long-lasting staple and classic of the range. This edition released in 2020 saw the first change in packaging since 2006. It joined the Sherry Oak range which also included a 12 year old, 25 year old and 30 year old. Since 2016, the year of release is given on the label instead of the year of distillation.

About the Producer Macallan

Macallan is to Scottish single malts what Petrus is to French grand crus - a monument! To this day, no other distillery has sold a single edition at such a high auction price as The Macallan 60 Year Old 1926 Dillon, which fetched £1.2 million in 2018.Macallan owes this renown to the excellence of its production methods and its sherry-cask maturation, as well as the business acumen of its owners who, in the early 20th century, set out to conquer numerous markets, and the aptness of their vision of the distillery and its single malt, which they recognized as being akin to a château and grand cru. This led to the whisky adopting practices from the world of wine, including vintage bottlings for all versions aged 15 years and older, with the help up until the late 1960s of companies such as Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail, who bottled and distributed the malt on The Macallan's behalf. The 1990s saw the appearance of elegant 25 and 30 year olds, including those presented in the Tudor Crystal Decanters range, presaging the change in direction The Macallan would take in the new millennium. In 1999, an outstanding copper-adorned curved crystal decanter was released for a 50 Year Old edition distilled in 1949.
