The Macallan Travel Series Fifties Sherry Cask is an exquisite addition to the Macallan Decades series, which pays homage to the distinct styles of whiskies from the 1920s to the 1950s. This particular bottling, released in 2001, is crafted to mimic the classic character of Macallan from the 1950s. During that era, the whisky was celebrated for its rich, spicy flavor profile with a subtle hint of peat smoke, a characteristic imparted by the use of Spanish oak sherry casks, made available after World War II. The master distiller has meticulously recreated the 1950s Macallan profile by examining vintage bottles and matching these with contemporary distillations from the casks maturing in Macallan's warehouses. This 500ml bottle, with an ABV of 40%, encapsulates the elegance and complexity of its era. Adorned with era-specific artwork and motifs that evoke the classic modes of transport from the 1950s, it stands out not only as a fine whisky but also as a collectible item. True to its roots, it offers a lush, spicy experience akin to modern Macallan expressions, yet distinguished by that nostalgic touch of peat smoke.
