The Macallan 18 Años Double Cask
Description
Discover The Macallan 18 Years Old Double Cask, a masterpiece of Scottish balance and elegance. In this expression, The Macallan brings together American and European oak casks seasoned with sherry to create a harmonious, creamy, and refined single malt, where the sweetness of vanilla and toffee intertwines with the rich character of oak
Each cask contributes its own identity: American oak lends softness and honeyed notes, while European oak adds structure and depth. The result is a perfectly balanced whisky, with a silky texture and a complex, long-lasting flavour profile.
