The Macallan's annual Sherry Oak range is bolstered with the 2023 release. The 18-year-old single malt has all the classic Macallan flavours you want thanks to its maturation in a series of high-quality, hand-picked sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez.
Caramel, sherry-soaked sultanas, orange peel, and winter spice.
Tinned peaches, creamy vanilla, ginger snaps, dried fruit, and dark chocolate.
Cinnamon and oak char.
Deep rich colour and heady aroma, drank over ice. Quite strong sherry flavour from the oak cask. Not my favourite, personally I found the Macallan Double Cask 12 year smoother and more enjoyable.
We tried this with other aged Macallan whiskies, we tried it neat. A darker colour with a nice sherry aroma. The taste was nice and rich to start with some vanilla, dried fruit task but a harsher finish so perhaps next time a small amount of water with this one. Overall I think we preferred the 12 year old Macallan over this.
I only occasionally drink whisky and probably won't try this one again. It was very harsh on the first sip, so much so that it was hard to experience any of the flavour.
A splendid 18 year old malt, flavoursome, many undertones coming through from the first sip. I drink this with a chunk of ice, complements the peaty sensations on the palate. Very smooth finish. Recommended.
So, I got my hands on The Macallan 18 Year Old Whisky, and let me tell you, it's like sipping on a piece of liquid gold. The colour alone, this deep amber thing, already had me feeling fancy. When I caught that first whiff, it was like a sweet party in my nose with dried fruits, a bit of oak, and a touch of vanilla – classy, right? But the real magic happened when I took a sip. This whisky has been hanging out in barrels for 18 years, and you can taste every second of it.
