The Macallan treated this 18 Year Old to not just one, but two cask types for its maturation, released as part of the Double Cask series! Oloroso sherry was used to season a combination of both American and European oak casks, with the former imparting vanilla nuances while the latter brings that hallmark Macallan spice.
Tasting's Notes
Aromas of Dried fruit, ginger, and toffee. Rich orange with hints of clove and nutmeg. The palate is rich with raisin, sultana with notes of caramel, vanilla, and ginger, balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus. The finish is of warm oak spice with ginger, turning to sweet orange.
