The Macallan Carta Nautica 105 Proof Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a bold and sophisticated expression from one of Scotland’s most iconic whisky houses. Built around a “well-travelled” cask story, this release brings together sherry seasoned American oak casks with a combination of casks that previously held bourbon, creating a layered single malt with richness, brightness, and refined oak character.
Bottled at 105 proof / 52.5% ABV, The Macallan Carta Nautica offers a powerful yet elegant profile. Expect notes of sweet nougat, vanilla, honeycomb, almond brittle, lemon drizzle cake, toffee, golden syrup, poached pear, green apple, candied orange, malt biscuit, citrus peel, and gentle oak spice.
With its striking black label, high-proof format, and distinctive cask composition, this limited Macallan single malt is an excellent choice for Scotch collectors, luxury whisky gifting, special occasion sipping, and fans of sherry oak and bourbon cask-influenced Highland whisky.
