From the Producer

The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid at Easter Elchies, Craigellachie, in Speyside on the River Spey. Originally a farm distillery, it built its reputation from the 1930s onward on extended cask ageing, traditionally in oak sherry casks shipped from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, alongside bourbon casks in more recent ranges. The distillery has been owned by Edrington since 1999. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Macallan_distillery. The Sherry Oak 12 Years Old sits within the distillery's core range and is matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak casks, delivering the rich, dried-fruit style the range is known for, at 40-43% ABV depending on market.
