Macallan and its obsession for quality
The Macallan is a distillery that has built its reputation on the absolute control of the production process, with special emphasis on the selection of casks. The Double Cask range is a clear example of this philosophy, offering balanced and complex whiskies that evolve consistently over time.
The Double Cask concept and its impact on whisky
The combined use of European and American oak casks wrapped with sherry allows the integration of complementary characteristics. The European oak adds spice, structure and depth, while the American oak softens the profile with sweet notes and a rounder texture.
Tasting style and sensory profile
The Macallan Double Cask presents aromas of ripe fruit, natural vanilla, sweet spices and well-worked wood. In the mouth they stand out for their smoothness, balance and a lingering finish that gains complexity in older expressions.
