Description
The Double Cask range first launched in 2016 with The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old. The series uses American and European oak Sherry-seasoned casks to mature the whiskies.
Kirsteen Campbell, the master whisky maker as Macallan said this:
"Bringing together American and European oak Sherry-seasoned casks to achieve the perfect balance of flavours is incredibly exciting for the whisky mastery team.
With Double Cask 15 Years Old, the delicate and indulgent flavours of American oak including honey, citrus and chocolate balance The Macallan’s more traditional characteristics of rich fruits, Sherry and wood spice.
The Macallan Double Cask 18 Years Old offers slightly more complexity, with raisin and sultana subtly balanced by warming oak spice.
Oak influence is the single greatest contributor to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours at the heart of The Macallan’s single malts."
Tasting Notes
