R6 ,499.00
1 in stock
The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak is bottled once a year as a limited Annual Release, with this bottle drawn from the 2022 release. Matured in hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain, it develops a light mahogany hue and a full-bodied character entirely through the wood, with no added colouring. Bottled at 43% ABV, it represents the fullest expression of Macallan’s 100% sherry-cask philosophy at eighteen years of age, and is considerably harder to source once each year’s limited allocation sells through.

Heritage & Detailing
Founded in 1824 at Easter Elchies on the banks of the River Spey, The Macallan is one of the most collected names in single malt Scotch, built on a longstanding commitment to sherry-seasoned oak as the defining influence on its whisky. The distillery sources its own oak casks directly and has them seasoned with sherry in Jerez de la Frontera before they ever touch spirit — a practice The Macallan credits as “the single greatest contributor to the quality, flavours and distinctive aromas” of its whisky.
The Sherry Oak 18 Year Old is released annually in limited volumes rather than as a standing core-range product, with each year’s batch showing subtle variation drawn from that year’s selection of casks. This bottle is drawn from the 2022 Annual Release, giving it a specific, dateable provenance beyond the age statement alone.
Tasting Notes
A full-bodied palate of mature oak, ginger and raisin, with a light mahogany hue built up over eighteen years in sherry-seasoned oak.
Condition & Presentation
This bottle is sealed and unopened, presented in its original branded packaging exactly as pictured.
Why RareFind Rates This Piece Rare & Collectable
RareFind rates this as a highly collectable single malt. As an Annual Release bottled in limited volumes each year, this is considerably harder to source than Macallan’s standard core range once a given year’s allocation sells through, and this bottle is specifically from the 2022 release. Eighteen years of maturation in exclusively sherry-seasoned oak, from a distillery renowned as one of the most collected names in single malt Scotch, makes this a standout for any serious whisky collection. A well-aged, hard-to-find bottle worth securing.
