The Macallan is a storied brand in the world of single malt Scotch whisky, renowned for its exceptional quality and luxury. Established in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher, The Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Over the years, it has built a formidable reputation through a commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and the exclusive use of sherry-seasoned oak casks for maturation, a tradition that significantly defines its rich and robust flavour profile.
The Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky that offers a complex and harmonious blend of flavors, matured in both American and European oak casks that have been seasoned with sherry. This whisky presents a rich sensory experience with a golden butterscotch color and a warm character.
Nose:
The aroma is inviting with a blend of vanilla, dried fruits, and sweet toffee, complemented by additional notes of fruit compote, Asian pear, and Manuka honey. A hint of milk chocolate and subtle gunpowder notes add complexity.
Palate:
The palate offers a rich and smooth experience with flavors of honey and caramel at the forefront, followed by a hint of citrus. As you continue to enjoy, you'll notice the presence of creamy chocolate and dried fruits, alongside a touch of spice. This develops into a delightful mix of sweet orange marmalade, candied orange peel, and golden apples, enriched by a buttery and honeyed texture.
Finish:
The finish is medium-long, characterized by woody and spicy notes. Cinnamon and a slight astringency akin to black tea round out the experience, leaving a lasting impression.
