The Macallan 21yo The Colour Collection Sherry Seasoned Oak is a distinguished single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Speyside distillery, Macallan. This exquisite expression is part of the Colour Collection, a collaborative masterpiece with renowned American artist and graphic designer David Carson. This whisky boasts an impressive 21-year maturation period, during which it has been gently aged in a combination of American and European Oak Sherry seasoned casks, culminating in a 43% ABV bottling. The Colour Collection epitomizes Macallan's unwavering commitment to natural color and sherry seasoning, embodying the brand's dedication to tradition and quality. This 21-year-old gem is marked by its natural, warm bronze hue, a testament to the harmonious interplay of European oak within American oak casks. The oak casks, hailing from Jerez de la Frontera in Spain, are meticulously seasoned with sherry wine to impart rich, complex flavors into the whisky. The Macallan Colour Collection 21 Years Old delights the senses with a multifaceted flavor profile, featuring notes of tropical fruits, rich coffee, toasted hazelnuts, and a tantalizing dark chocolate orange essence. The profound influence of the seasoned casks is elegantly echoed in the packaging, which showcases an array of rich brown tones reminiscent of the wood’s toasted, caramel flavors, and a subtle hint of spice. This special release not only celebrates The Macallan's heritage of Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning but also honors the globally acclaimed travel-exclusive releases. The Colour Collection spans an impressive range, including 12, 15, 18, 21, and 30-year-old expressions, with each bottle's packaging thoughtfully chosen to complement the golden oak tones of the whisky within.
