The collection page lists four single malts. The Distilled in 1987 was bottled in 2026 at 38 years old and 45.2% ABV; this 20 Years Old is the travel-retail bottling; the 105 Proof, a US release at 52.5% ABV, carries no age statement; and The Macallan Carta Nautica is sold in Latin America through selected retailers. The Macallan’s Whisky Mastery Team made the collection, and its lead whisky maker, Euan Kennedy, presented it at the launch as casks from different continents and climates brought together in one whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"mw-wrap mw-section\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"mw-video\"\u003e\n      \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/ivtbk36nel\" title=\"The Macallan Carta Nautica 20 Years Old film\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"mw-wrap mw-section\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"mw-chap\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"mw-chap-no\"\u003eNº 03\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003ch2 class=\"mw-h3\"\u003eThe Two Cask Stages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"mw-chap-r\"\u003eSherry oak, then bourbon casks\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"mw-casks\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"mw-cask\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"mw-cask-k\"\u003eStage one · Jerez de la Frontera\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003eSherry-seasoned oak\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eOak casks seasoned with sherry in Jerez held the whisky first.
