A Rare Expression of Aged Elegance

The Macallan 21 Year Old represents the pinnacle of sherry cask maturation—crafted for connoisseurs who seek depth, rarity, and timeless quality. Consequently, it spends over two decades in hand-picked sherry-seasoned European oak casks. Moreover, this bottling, sometimes referenced in the market as part of a “Colour Collection,” showcases The Macallan’s legendary richness and balance.

Matured in the Finest Sherry Casks

This expression is matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned European oak casks—a tradition that defines The Macallan’s house style. In fact, the Macallan 21 Year Old develops profound layers of dried fruit, spice, and oak through 21 years of patient aging in the cool Scottish climate.

Opulent, Layered, and Exceptionally Smooth

Bottled at 42% ABV, this whisky delivers luxurious depth with remarkable finesse. As a result, it weaves together raisin, fig, and orange marmalade with cinnamon, clove, and dark chocolate. Additionally, the extended maturation imparts a velvety texture that defines its premium character.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals sultana, vanilla, and dried apricot, followed by ginger, nutmeg, and a hint of leather. Then, subtle notes of roasted almond and dark honey emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is rich and full. Flavors of plum, toffee, baking spice, and oak unfold with grace. The alcohol integrates seamlessly, adding warmth without heat.

Finally, the finish is long and satisfying—dried fruit, cocoa, and a whisper of smoke. Altogether, it’s a majestic and contemplative dram that honors the legacy of this Macallan 21 Year Old.

A Coveted Aged Collector’s Bottle

While The Macallan no longer regularly releases 21-year-old expressions, bottles like this Macallan 21 Year Old are highly sought after by collectors. Therefore, it holds both historical significance and investment value. Its deep amber hue and complex profile make it a centerpiece for any serious Scotch collection.
