Product Description
The Macallan Double Cask 18 years old reveals the unrivalled commitment to the mastery of wood and spirit for which the Macallan has been known since it was established in 1824. It is and expression of our enduring desire to go beyond ordinary, to seek out the extraordinary, and create peerless single malts. Our reputation for the extraordinary is characterized by the exceptional oak casks for which the Macallan us renowned. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of the Master of wood, the hand picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of the Whisky Mastery Team. Once filled, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed in the same cask for 18 years. It is the oak that makes the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colours and distinctive aromas and flavours at the heart of this single malt whiskey. The perfect partnership of Oloroso sherry seasoned American and European oak casks create the distinctive, warm character of this harmonious single malt. The delicate and indulgent flavours of American oak including vanilla, orange and toffee support the Macallan's more traditional characteristics of rich fruits and wood spice which takes centre stage.
