The Macallan 18 Year Old - Double Cask
A Symphony of Sweetness and Spice
This single malt whisky is matured for 18 years in a unique combination of American and European sherry-seasoned oak casks. This process imbues the whisky with a harmonious profile of vanilla, citrus, and butterscotch from the American oak, complemented by the subtle spice and unmistakable character of European oak. The result is a whisky of sweeter, warmer taste and character, expressed through its amber honey color.
The creation of The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask is an intricate process that starts with sourcing new oak from America and transporting it to Spain. Here, the casks are seasoned with sherry before making their way to Scotland to begin the aging process. After 18 years, whiskies from both American and European sherry-seasoned oak casks are harmoniously united, marrying rich dried fruits, ginger, and toffee notes with the oak's rich spice.
The Macallan Distillery is ensconced on a 485-acre estate by the River Spey, in the heart of Speyside, a region synonymous with the world's finest Scotch whiskies. The estate's natural beauty and biodiversity are not just a backdrop but integral to The Macallan's whisky-making process, influencing the flavour, aroma, and natural color of its products.
This 18 Year Old dram has been recognized for its exceptional quality, receiving a score of 95 points from Wine Enthusiast, denoting it as a superb achievement. Furthermore, it received a score of 92/100 from The Whiskey Wash, emphasizing its exquisite taste and reliability as a premium whisky, though it acknowledges the debate around its value in the single malt market.
