Macallan Double Cask Gold – Golden elegance in glass form

A Single Malt in perfect balance

Macallan Double Cask Gold is more than just a whisky – it’s an elegant interpretation of Macallan’s classic style with a sweet twist from American oak. As part of the Double Cask series, this single malt combines the best of two worlds: spicy European oak meets soft and sweet American oak – and the result is a sophisticated and harmonious experience in the glass.

Flavor profile

On the nose, Macallan Double Cask Gold reveals distinct notes of fresh lemon and orange peel, balanced by the creamy sweetness of vanilla and a hint of dark chocolate. As the whisky hits the palate, the mouth is filled with delicious nuances of citrus and boiled candy, quickly followed by spicy notes of ginger and cinnamon. On the finish, soft, roasted apples emerge, giving a wonderfully round and slightly warm aftertaste.

Natural beauty without age

One of the hallmarks of this whisky is its natural burnt gold colour — not artificially added, but the result of its ageing in carefully selected sherry-seasoned casks. It is not bound by a specific age, yet delivers a complexity and depth normally only found in much older single malts.

The backdrop

Originating from Speyside in the Scottish Highlands, this whisky is made using conventional methods. It is unsmoked, making it perfect for beginners or those who prefer a clean, smooth and fruity flavour profile. At 40% alcohol, the experience is delivered with finesse rather than strength – just as you would expect from Macallan.
