Distilled in 1987 and bottled in 2026 at 38 years old, this single malt celebrates the epic transatlantic journeys of The Macallan's oak undertaken since 1824. The whisky began its maturation in the finest oak casks seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, before being moved to casks that previously held bourbon in America to complete its voyage. Macallan calls it an anomalous bottling: a sherry-then-bourbon journey that is almost unheard of for the distillery, where the combined influence of the two cask types has worked with carefully planned charm. Entirely natural colour, 45.2% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle is housed in an extraordinary custom-designed solid wood presentation box with a sculpted, wave-carved exterior. Inside, water-inspired, multi-layered paper artwork by the artist Amy Genser mimics oceanic topography and sea charts, framing the bottle under the words \"Explore the Depths\". It is a presentation as remarkable as the whisky inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Macallan, Easter Elchies, Craigellachie, Speyside\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carta Nautica, flagship release, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 Years Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistilled:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1987 | \u003cstrong\u003eBottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sherry-seasoned oak from Jerez de la Frontera, then ex-bourbon casks from America\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutturn:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural colour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sculpted wooden box with layered paper artwork by Amy Genser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy vanilla with caramelised peaches, rich oak alongside tropical pineapple with a touch of rose and pink grapefruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique oak with orange oil, berry compote and nectarines.
