A special release of 18 year old single malt from The Macallan, distilled in 1979 and bottled in 1997. While Macallan is well known for their Sherry cask-matured whiskies, “Sherried” does not even do this one justice. The Gran Reserva releases are seriously super Sherried and highly sought after – the 1979 vintage is particular popular within the series.

The Macallan used Speyside peat in the malting process from inception in 1824 through the late nineteenth century when railways brought more heat efficient fuels like coal. By the 1930’s, peat was still there, although it is only lightly discernible. But the World War years limited the supply of fossil fuels, so the peat was used again for a while; effectively disappearing in the post-war years.
