Following distillation, The Glenlivet XXV is aged for approximately 23 years in traditional oak casks. After its initial maturation, the whisky is double barreled, or finished, in hand-selected, first-fill sherry casks for an additional two years. The sherry casks impart a luxurious and bold aroma of ripe fruits, dark chocolate and creamy vanilla to the whisky. In addition, the sherry casks contribute hints of raisins, dates and figs, which complement the whisky's notes of walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon. The finish is long opulent, with notes of sherry, red fruits and spices mingled together. Glenlivet XXV earned the Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge, the International Wine & Spirits Competition and the The Scotch Whisky Masters Competition. In addition, it earned a score of 93 points from Whisky Advocate, which said that the whisky's "flavors are seamless and elegantly balanced." It also earned a score 95 points from the Beverage Testing Institute.

The Macallan Estate is the Whisky Maker's tribute to our heritage and home. It is an extremely special new single malt containing rare spirit from a proportion of the barley grown at Easter Elchies estate, which is distilled just once a year over the course of a single week. Created by Whisky Maker Sarah Burgess, The Macallan Estate is a celebration of the single malt's peerless provenance and heritage. The 485-acre Easter Elchies estate is set within the legendary Speyside region of Scotland, where The Macallan has been creating extraordinary single malts since 1824. Its carefully tended barley fields are located on the banks of the River Spey, overlooked by The Macallan's new award-winning distillery. The Macallan Estate is presented in a striking gift pack featuring a hand cut slate panel representative of the Scottish landscape of our home. Inside, aerial photography showcases the estate's impressive barley fields on the banks of the beautiful River Spey.
