The Macallan Carta Nautica 1987: A Tribute to Transatlantic Oak Journeys
Macallan 1987 Carta Nautica Limited Edition celebrates The Macallan’s historic relationship with oak casks that have traversed the Atlantic since 1824. This limited edition single malt, distilled in 1987, embodies the spirit of the transatlantic journeys undertaken by its casks before and during maturation—capturing a unique chapter in the distillery’s long heritage.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
The nearly four-decade-old whisky began its maturation in sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, renowned for imparting rich, vinous notes. It then completed aging in American bourbon casks, adding another layer of complexity and influence to the spirit. Bottled in 2023 at a cask strength of 45.2% ABV, the liquid mirrors the dual heritage of both European and American oak maturation traditions.
Release & Availability
Limited to just 600 bottles, the Macallan 1987 Carta Nautica Limited Edition is an exceptional collector’s item available through Spiritory. This commemorative release presents a rare opportunity to experience a whisky that encapsulates the distillery’s oak cask journey legacy.
