It is often said that when two worlds come together, something magical
or simply extraordinary happens.
This is the story behind the Macallan Double Cask — a 12 year old single malt that tells the story of a journey that brings together two different worlds.
To create the Double Cask, new oak from America is brought across thousands of miles to Spain, where oak casks are cra ed before traveling to the Speyside distillery to mature for twelve years. is whisky is then harmoniously combined with those aged in the very best European oak casks.
This combination constitutes an incomparable investment in time and an extraordinary commitment to mastery that characterises the Macallan since 1824.
e exclusive Double Cask features a natural colour and unique combination of avours that remains until the very last drop. The delicate flavour of American oak – vanilla, citrus and light oak -
rises in prominence as the traditional Macallan character of rich fruit, sherry and wood spice flavours is revealed.
Commenting on Double Cask, Bob Dalgarno, e Macallan Master Whisky Maker, said, “ is is a single malt which celebrates the coming together of two styles to create a fully rounded and distinctive avour. By combining wood in uences, we have been able to produce a new Macallan which sits perfectly between our existing Sherry Oak and Fine Oak ranges.”
