The Macallan 30 Year Old Double Cask

The Scottish distillery has unveiled a modern take on its classic 30-year-old for the connoisseurs who like to switch things up. The new Double Cask 30 Years Old is billed as an exceptional aged single malt with a rich depth of flavor and complex character.

For this Double Cask, Macallan sources European oak from Spain and France, along with American oak from Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky. In the cooperages of Spain, the wood is then turned into casks and toasted over fire before it’s filled with sherry and left for up to 18 months.

Aromas of fresh honeycomb, sweet toffee, rich vanilla, red apples and fig. On the palate, meanwhile, there is a smooth melody of cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, dried fruits and oak, which leads into a long and lingering finish of sweet oak, soft spice and toffee.
