It began with The Macallan 12 Year Old as a permanent member of the series, The Macallan 15 Year Old appeared two years later as the first older vintage, and The Macallan 18 Year Old in 2021 in response to demand for longer-matured versions from this line. The Macallan has developed the Double Cask line to offer a softer, more versatile style, emphasizing the growing interest in whiskies with complex cask compositions.
