The Macallan 40 Year Old is a limited release whisky, with only 500 bottles available, matured in sherry casks and bottled in 2016. This whisky is a product of the Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno's, intuition and instinct, as he filled an additional tenth cask during the marrying stage of the 2006 release of The Macallan 30 Years Old Sherry Oak. This tenth cask was allowed to continue to mature and develop, resulting in this exceptional 40-year-old whisky.
