The Double Cask range combines the sweetness of American oak with sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks. These are hand-picked by the wood masters at The Macallan. The new American oak is first brought to Spain to be assembled and sherry-seasoned before the barrels travel to Speyside for the maturation. The whiskies are then combined with European oloroso sherry casks. Showcasing the distinctive mastery and rich flavor complexity of The Macallan, The Macallan Double Cask 18 Year Old is matured in the world's most extraordinary casks. Expect an exquisite balance of notes of dried fruit, toffee, and ginger from European oak, balanced by the delicate vanilla and sweet citrus flavors, imparted by American oak. A rich and multi-dimensional taste experience.
