About the product
A sophisticated and well travelled single malt from The Macallan’s Carta Nautica Collection, this US exclusive expression is bottled at a robust 105 proof (52.5% ABV) with natural colour. Named after the Spanish term for nautical chart, it celebrates the historic transatlantic journey of oak that has shaped The Macallan since 1824.
The whisky is shaped by three distinct cask journeys. Sherry seasoned American oak brings nutty depth and sweetness, while former bourbon casks contribute bright notes of vanilla and lemon. A third selection of casks that completed maturation in sherry seasoned American oak after time in bourbon wood adds further layers of rich toffee complexity.
On the nose, expect immediate sweetness of nougat, vanilla and honeycomb, followed by almond brittle and lemon drizzle cake. The palate opens with toffee and golden syrup before revealing balanced fruit notes of poached pear, green apple and candied orange. The finish is long and warming, with malt biscuit, citrus peel and gentle oak spice.
A rewarding, high proof expression that captures the influence of continents and cultures in every glass.
