The Macallan 15 Year Old - Double Cask
A Perfect Marriage of American and European Oak Casks, Unfolding Deep Flavors of Honey, Chocolate, and Dried Fruits
The Macallan 15 Years Old Double Cask is a meticulously crafted single malt Scotch whisky that embodies the harmony of two distinct oak types. Matured in both American and European oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry, this expression achieves a sweeter, warmer taste and character, enriched with notes of butterscotch.
The whisky presents itself in a golden butterscotch hue, a testament to the natural colors imparted by its casks.
Sherry seasoned American oak brings delicate flavors of vanilla, contrasting beautifully with the subtle spice delivered by European oak. This process, including sourcing, crafting, toasting, and seasoning under the supervision of the Master of Wood, ensures the exceptional quality, color, and distinctive flavors and aromas characteristic of The Macallan. The whisky remains undisturbed in the same casks for the required 15 years, a period that allows it to achieve its destined expression.
The Macallan 15 Years Old Double Cask is best savored neat or with a small amount of water to release its full spectrum of flavors. It pairs wonderfully with rich desserts or a fine cigar, enhancing the overall tasting experience.

The Macallan 15 years old double cask is an exquisite whisky that has been carefully aged in a combination of American and European oak, seasoned with Oloroso sherry, resulting in a lip-smacking delight. With its enticing aroma of butterscotch, plump raisin, spiced apple crumble, and oak spice, every sip is a sensory journey worth relishing. Indulging in the dried fruits, cinnamon, candied ginger, and orange peel flavors, complemented by a warming ginger finish, is simply a pleasure that whisky enthusiasts can unequivocally enjoy.

What I liked most was butterscotch, raisin, and ginger. Great stuff. Highly recommended.

With a warming ginger finish and a drizzle of honey - it's just divine!
