The Macallan Sienna is a distinguished member of The Macallan's 1824 Series, showcasing the distillery's commitment to using 100% natural colors in their single malts. This whisky is the second-darkest in the series and has been meticulously matured in sherry oak casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. This careful maturation results in a harmonious blend of rich, dried-fruit sweetness and lighter, spicier notes.

The Sienna expression, positioned between Gold and Amber & Ruby, reflects a balanced flavor profile with a greater depth and intensity. It was the second-most expensive offering in Macallan's 1924 range, which was introduced in 2013 and phased out in 2018. The Macallan distillery, renowned for its dedication to sherry-seasoned oak casks, crafts whiskies that are rich with a distinctive sherry influence. The progression of color in the 1824 Series deepens with each expression, with the Sienna offering an intense and satisfying experience for whisky enthusiasts.
