Macallan 18 Year Old Colour Collection

The Collection is a celebration of The Macallan's commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning. The Colour Collection 18 Years Old offers a whisky that has undergone maturation in American oak casks, enhanced by a delicate touch of European oak.

During 18 years of patient maturation, the whisky has drawn out the flavours of the cask: the lemon citrus and vanilla of the American oak, the notes of dried fruits, spices and orange citrus from the European oak, and the almonds, toffee, dried fruit, and hint of spice of the sherry seasoning. The result is a sweet and citric flavour profile with dominant notes of sweet oak, clementine and honeycomb.

Artist and Graphic Designer David Carson captures the warmth of the evening sun as it shines on the “teja” tiles on the roofs of the bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera, against a backdrop of vineyards with chalk-white soil – the perfect environment to enjoy a dram of The Macallan.
