MACALLAN - MAKE YOUR OWN FINE OAK MACALLAN

MC1. MACALLAN - MAKE YOUR OWN FINE OAK MACALLAN

Ever wondered what types of cask make up The Macallan Fine Oak? Now you can make your own, using Macallan whisky from Spanish oak ex-Sherry, American oak ex-Sherry, and American oak ex-Bourbon casks. Join The Macallan brand ambassador, Charlie Whitfield, as he leads you on a journey of intrigue and indulgence. You will be tasting your own unique Macallan Fine Oak, along with the Macallan Fine Oak 17 year old, the Macallan President's Edition (not available in the USA) and the unique Macallan Oakley 22 year old (of which only 400 bottles were ever sold).
