Detailed Description
The Macallan Gran Reserva has bathed deeply in the most sultry of Spanish Sherry casks. These casks were set aside from all others, filled with The Macallan spirit and judiciously nosed over the years by the Distillery Management. Having slumbered in the Macallan warehouses at Easter Elchies, the Macallan Gran Reserva now reveals itself as a malt steeped in the pedigree oft The Macallan. From the initial gathering of water at there own private source, to the shipping of casks, each moment, each costly selection of the best is, to be found in The Macallan Gran Reserva. The Gran Reserva Macallan’s were released between 1997 and 2002 and are perhaps one of the most sought after releases from Macallan. Distilled in 1981 and bottled in 1999. Absolutely stunning Macallan.
