Macallan 18 Years Old Double Cask 2024 – A Masterful Speyside Experience
A harmonious and sweet single malt from Macallan
Macallan has once again demonstrated their expertise with the new vintage of their 18 Years Old Double Cask Single Malt Whisky 2024 – an impressive whisky experience from the Speyside region of the Scottish Highlands. This exclusive bottling is conventionally produced, yet rigorously balanced and refined in both expression and taste.
The Double Cask concept means that the whisky is aged in both American and European oak casks, which have previously contained sherry – adding depth, warmth and elegance to the already characterful single malt. The unique partnership between the two cask types brings a broad and smooth palette of flavour nuances, where the American oak stands out clearly with its sweet and rounded signature.
Aroma and taste – a journey through warm spices and refined sweetness
The Macallan 18 Years Old Double Cask 2024 opens with an aroma that immediately awakens the senses: notes of dried fruit and ginger wrapped in delicious tones of toffee. In the background, there is a spicy depth with hints of clove and nutmeg that lead thoughts to warm winter evenings.
On the palate, the whisky reveals a complex and complete interplay of rich raisins and sultanas, caramelised vanilla and subtle ginger. The honey-sweet flavour is balanced by woody spices and a lively citrus note, which adds freshness and perspective. It is not smoked, making the flavour profile more accessible, familiar and focused on the natural ingredients and the finesse of the cask ageing.
An elegant and iconic Speyside whisky
The Macallan 18 Years Old Double Cask 2024 is an obvious choice for collectors, connoisseurs and those who want to treat themselves to a world-class whisky. The golden amber and honey colour is testament to many years of careful maturation in sherry casks, and the elegant, rounded flavour profile makes it perfect both as a whisky to enjoy and as a gift idea.
