The Macallan 25 Year Sherry Oak Annual 2019 Release is a flagship expression from Speyside's most coveted distillery, established at Easter Elchies in 1824. This release is matured for a quarter century exclusively in hand picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, sourced, toasted, and seasoned under the watchful eye of The Macallan's Master of Wood. The result is the distillery's signature richness and complexity, defined by deep mahogany color, layered dried fruit, vanilla, and warming spice. Part of The Macallan Sherry Oak Collection, the 2019 vintage represents one of the more sought after annual cohorts as earlier releases have largely cleared from primary market shelves. Bottled at 43% ABV with natural color and presented in a solid wooden presentation case, the 2019 release is a defining bottle for collectors of vintage Macallan and one of the most consistently celebrated 25 Year sherry expressions in the modern era.
