The Macallan Double Cask 18-Year-Old is a masterpiece of Speyside whisky craftsmanship. Part of Macallan's Double Cask series, this 2024 release continues the tradition of balancing the influence of both American and European oak casks. Each cask is hand-selected to deliver the signature Macallan complexity and depth, with a rich and harmonious profile that speaks to the distillery's commitment to quality.
This whisky is matured in two types of oak casks:
- American Oak Sherry-seasoned Casks: Imparts vanilla, citrus, and light oak.
- European Oak Sherry-seasoned Casks: Adds rich, spiced notes and dried fruits.
This combination produces a single malt that is layered with luxurious sweetness, spiced fruits, and a deep, rounded finish.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Warm amber with golden highlights.
- Nose: The bouquet opens with rich dried fruits like sultanas and apricots, intertwined with hints of ginger and a touch of citrus zest. Layers of vanilla, toffee, and a whisper of cinnamon linger in the background.
- Palate: An elegant balance of sweet toffee and rich dried fruits like raisins and dates, complemented by the warmth of spices—ginger, nutmeg, and clove. The influence of American oak gives a delicate vanilla and honeyed creaminess, while the European oak provides depth with oak spices and subtle chocolate.
- Finish: Long, warming, and luxuriously smooth, with oak, dried fruit sweetness, and a gentle wave of spice lingering on the palate.
Production Process:
The Macallan Double Cask 18-Year-Old is crafted with precision and care. The whisky undergoes a slow maturation process in both American and European oak casks, each seasoned with Oloroso sherry. This dual maturation results in the whisky’s signature profile—balancing sweet and spicy elements with underlying oak richness. The casks are stored in Macallan’s traditional warehouses, where the Speyside climate influences the aging process, resulting in a whisky of remarkable depth and character.
Key Features:
- Cask Maturation: Sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks.
- Flavour Profile: Luxurious sweetness, balanced spices, and complex oak.
- Distillation: Crafted using Macallan’s copper stills, known for their small size, which enhances the rich, concentrated spirit.
- Sustainability: Macallan is committed to sustainability, using responsibly sourced wood for their casks, as well as reducing their carbon footprint throughout the production process.
Serving Suggestions:
This whisky is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas and flavours. For those who enjoy an elevated tasting experience, pairing the Macallan 18-Year-Old with dark chocolate or dried fruits like figs and dates enhances the richness and depth of the whisky.
Investment Potential:
Macallan whiskies are known for their high value in the secondary market, and the Double Cask 18-Year-Old is no exception. With limited annual releases and a consistently high demand, this edition has excellent potential as a collectible whisky. The 2024 bottling, in particular, represents an opportunity for both enthusiasts and investors to acquire a rare expression of Macallan craftsmanship.
