The Macallan Double Cask 18 Years Old. Two oaks, creating the perfect harmony within one exceptional single malt whisky. Our Double Cask whiskies are aged in two types of oak, in specially selected hand-crafted casks seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry. American oak imparts delicate flavours of vanilla, citrus and butterscotch. European oak delivers the unmistakable subtle spice of The Macallan.Once matured, two exceptional whiskies unite to create a distinctive single malt with a sweeter, warmer taste and character. Enjoy it neat, over ice or in a serve.
To create Double Cask, The Macallan brings new oak from America across thousands of miles to Spain, where casks are crafted and sherry seasoned before travelling to the distillery in Speyside to mature. At least 18 years later, these whiskies are then harmoniously united with the very best European sherry seasoned oak casks. This marriage creates flavors of rich dried fruits, ginger and toffee, an extraordinary mastery of flavor and natural color.Rich raisin and sultana with notes of caramel, vanilla and ginger balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus
