Macallan Colour Collection – 18 Year Sherry Oak Casks
The Colour Collection 18 Years Old offers a whisky that has undergone maturation in American oak casks, enhanced by a delicate touch of European oak.
The Collection is a celebration of our sherry journey beginning in our vineyards in Jerez. The sherry wine that we use as the seasoner in our exceptional oak casks and the spectrum of natural colour derived from the interaction with the sherry seasoned oak.
With flavours of sweet oak, honeycomb and clementine, Colour Collection 18 Years Old is a natural, auburn colour – the outcome of our new make spirit and exceptional oak casks working harmoniously together over the years.
THE COLOURS OF JEREZ
The 18 Years Old has an inviting, light auburn hue: a natural colour developed during almost two decades of the whisky interacting with the sherry seasoned oak casks. Inspired by the classic Jerez colourscape, the pack colours, a delicate metaphor of the American and European oak balance, complementing the whisky tone.
The 18 Years Old displays a striking shade of orange known as ‘teja’ (tile in Spanish): a Mediterranean earthy orange with hints of brown and red, set against an albariza backdrop with bold teja accents and rich textures. It is reminiscent of the setting Mediterranean sun as it drenches the pale vineyards of Jerez. On top, different layers of the bottle and its label.
White brush strokes wash over the minimal pack pattern and The Macallan red, a subtle nod to the character led by American Oak. The name of the Collection sits on a striking orange background, reminiscent of the setting sun.
