The Macallan Carta Nautica Collection
The Macallan Carta Nautica Collection is an exceptional release of whiskies, each matured in sherry seasoned oak casks before embarking on a second maturation journey in casks that once held bourbon.
A crafted culmination of influences from different continents and cultures, the Collection is connected by an epic body of water: the Atlantic Ocean. Across its depths, the finest oak staves and casks have journeyed from North America, some destined directly for Scotland, others for Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, before finally reaching Scottish shores, where our oak casks shape the character of every whisky.
A Collection of Exception
Each of the single malts have been transformed through the influence of both sherry seasoned oak and casks that once held bourbon. Inspired by the transatlantic journeys of The Macallan oak since 1824, the Collection brings together travel, time and craftsmanship in a series of distinctive expressions.
This Collection is comprised of limited and travel exclusive single malts.
Guided Passage Across the Ocean
Derived from the Spanish term for ‘nautical chart’, Carta Nautica tells the story of a purposeful journey – a guided passage of The Macallan oak staves and casks across the Atlantic Ocean. Set within our oceanic world, the Collection is guided by mythical characters that represent exceptional aspects of The Macallan and our journey to mastery.
Inspired by the charts once used by seafarers to navigate unknown waters, Carta Nautica reflects a spirit of guidance, orientation and the courage to pursue new horizons as The Macallan does.
