Description
Sitting atop Ruby within the current 1824 series comes “Reflexion”.
Part of Macallan’s luxury 1824 Master collection and one of the three pinnacles of the range (the others being ‘M’ and ‘No.6’), Reflexion pays homage to the distillery’s signature Sherry-influenced style, drawing on whiskies matured in first-fill sherry hogsheads – both American and Spanish oak. These are smaller casks, which allow for a greater surface area of wood to interact with the spirit.
When the series was launched in 2013, Macallan revealed it had invested £16 million in Spanish oak over the year. Master of wood, Stuart MacPherson, said: “Wood sits at the very heart of what we do at The Macallan and this range further demonstrates the vital role of our casks in the production of these superb whiskies. Our commitment to sherry seasoned oak casks is unquestionable and the Masters Series showcases The Macallan at its very best.”
