Product description
The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask is an exclusive single malt Scotch whisky known for its refined character and careful selection of casks. It matures for 18 years in two types of casks: American and European oak, previously seasoned in Oloroso sherry. This process gives the whisky a unique balance of flavours.
Prized for its composition and complexity, like the entire Double Cask range, which was introduced in 2016. It began with The Macallan 12 Year Old as a permanent fixture in the range, The Macallan 15 Year Old followed two years later as the first older vintage, and The Macallan 18 Year Old in 2021 in response to demand for longer-aged versions from the range. The Macallan has evolved the Double Cask range to offer a softer, more versatile style, reflecting the growing interest in whiskies with complex cask compositions. This is a whisky for connoisseurs, appreciated for its composition and complexity. Perfect for tasting without ice and to brighten up an evening, it combines The Macallan’s tradition with a modern approach to cask selection, offering an experience worthy of its price and age.
