Description

The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid. This 1978 vintage 18 Year Old is a classic Macallan, matured exclusively in sherry oak casks, renowned for its depth, spice, and fruit complexity. It was bottled in 1996 for the US market and is often described as resembling 'liquid Christmas cake' due to its deep, fruity, and sherried richness.
