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. The oak casks used for The Macallan Colour Collection 18 Years Old are seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. With flavours of vanilla, milk chocolate, orange and honeycomb, the whisky is a natural, auburn colour - the outcome of our new make spirit and exceptional oak casks working harmoniously together over the years. 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.
