The Gran Reserva 12-year-old is a decadent celebration of the skill and expertise the good folks at Macallan put into selecting and maturing their precious spirit in only the finest Oloroso sherry oak resulting in one of the richest, darkest and most sultry 12-year-old single malts in their long and decorated history.
Named ‘Gran Reserva’ in acknowledgement of its close involvement with the finest sherry. Its design pays tribute to the pedigree of such an iconic single malt whisky marrying classic Macallan imagery with Spanish themed goodness.
