Macallan’s ‘Double Cask’ 18 Year Old was matured for almost two decades in a combination of American and European oak – all oloroso seasoned. Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell’s notes suggest this year the sherry input could be more profound than ever, describing aromas and flavours of “Caramelised ginger, Christmas cake fruit, mulled wine spices, dark Jamaican gingerbread, sticky toffee pudding, crème Brûlée and orange zest.” What’s more, the colour of the whisky is about as dark as the regular ‘sherry cask’ 18 year old. Invariably on the short list of single malt aficionados. 700ml and 43% Alc./Vol.
The Macallan Double Cask 18 Years Old, a perfectly balanced single malt whisky matured for 18 years in both American and European sherry seasoned oak casks. Sherry seasoned American oak adds delicate vanilla to the subtle spice of European oak, delivering a whisky with a sweeter, warmer taste and character.
With golden hues heightening the colour of the whisky and reflecting the key flavour notes of treacle toffee, sweet ginger, dried fruits and nutmeg, The Macallan Double Cask 18 Years Old, 2024 Release stands proud as a marker of extraordinary craftsmanship.
