What's a Macallan cask worth?
Rough value ranges for a typical Macallan cask by age (Speyside). Updated October 2026.
| Age | Bourbon cask | Sherry cask |
|---|---|---|
| 5 years (filled 2021) | £12,000 to £31,000 | £16,000 to £39,000 |
| 10 years (filled 2016) | £19,000 to £52,000 | £24,000 to £66,000 |
| 15 years (filled 2011) | £27,000 to £81,000 | £35,000 to £110,000 |
| 20 years (filled 2006) | £36,000 to £130,000 | £47,000 to £160,000 |
| 25 years (filled 2001) | £46,000 to £170,000 | £59,000 to £220,000 |
Each range is for a generic cask: a full 250-litre hogshead filled at 63.5%, in good condition, with the usual losses for its age. The low end is what to look to pay, the middle a fair estimate, and the high end expensive for a typical cask. Your cask's condition, paperwork, history and how full it is all change what it's worth.
