Carta Nautica, launched in late September 2026, tells the story of the transatlantic voyage of The Macallan's oak: American oak shipped to Jerez de la Frontera in Spain to be seasoned with sherry, then on to Scotland. This 20 Year Old was matured in what the label calls \"an anomalous selection\" of sherry-seasoned oak casks and casks that previously held bourbon. Years in sherry wood followed by a bourbon cask finish is rare for any distillery, and almost unheard of for The Macallan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is brighter and fruitier than the house style, with apricot, mango and orange leading the way. Bottled at 42% ABV at natural colour, and released exclusively to global travel retail, with a presentation box in deep navy. It launched at Singapore's Changi Airport in October 2026 before a worldwide roll-out, so bottles in the UK are scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Macallan, Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carta Nautica, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Years Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, finished in ex-bourbon casks from North America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural colour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTravel retail exclusive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied in original navy presentation box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apricot, mango and orange, the bright tropical and citrus fruit that the bourbon finish lifts out of twenty years of sherry oak maturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Carta Nautica\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carta Nautica collection is a quartet of whiskies released by The Macallan in 2026, each celebrating the sea voyage of its casks.
