Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Year Old, Oloroso Sherry Cask, 2017, 43%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

91 / 100

The 2017 Sherry Oak release is a staple for anyone building a serious vertical. The demand for these specific annual batches remains high among collectors, and the liquid inside reflects that consistency. It is a well-composed Highland malt that delivers the exact profile people are chasing when they look for this age statement.
