Macallan 15 Year Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“The iconic producer of lush sherried malts delivers again. Employing the same technique of marrying whiskies aged in sherry-seasoned casks of both American and European oak that landed the 12 year old in our 2017 Top 20 has resulted in a truly decadent dram—richly nutty and fruity, with dried apples, cherries, and prunes. The palate is wonderfully luscious, supple, and chewy, delivering mouth-coating waves of fruit that remain for minutes on end, before a long farewell of lingering, warming spice. Impressive and irresistibly good.” - 93 PTS., #16 TOP WHISKIES OF 2020, JEFFERY LINDENMUTH, WHISKY ADVOCATE

DISTILLERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The Macallan Double Cask Collection celebrates the perfect balance of our exceptional sherry seasoned American and European oak casks showcasing our entirely natural colour. This harmonious combination, offers the unmistakable sweetness of vanilla and fresh fruits from the American oak, balanced with soft spices and dried fruits from the European oak. Increasing in complexity with age, discerning palates will appreciate the smooth and creamy whiskies of this collection. The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old is a balanced single malt whisky created by bringing the perfect harmony of two oaks into one exceptional single malt whisky. Sherry seasoned American oak adds delicate vanilla to the subtle spice of European oak, delivering a whisky with a sweeter, warmer taste and character.”
