The Macallan Double Cask 18 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

Sherry seasoned American and European oak casks, both sourced with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, combine after eighteen years of separate maturation to create this flagship Double Cask expression, bottled at a smooth, approachable 43% ABV. Dried fruit, ginger and toffee dominate the rich amber-honey nose alongside orange peel and hints of clove and nutmeg, developing into a chewy, complex palate of rich raisin and sultana with caramel, vanilla and ginger balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus, closing on a warm oak spice finish balanced by sweet orange that reflects the genuine mastery of wood and spirit this expression achieves.
