The Story
A 15-year single malt that marries two cask types: sherry-seasoned European oak (rich, spiced, dried fruit) and sherry-seasoned American oak (sweet, vanilla, lighter). The Macallan, founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid in Craigellachie, Speyside, was among the first to receive a legal distillation license after the 1823 Excise Act. Their famously small copper stills—among the most compact in Speyside—produce a rich, dense distillate. The Double Cask range, introduced in 2020, offers a balanced middle ground between the sherried intensity of the Sherry Oak range and lighter expressions. 43% ABV.
