Description
Macallan Double Cask 15 Year Old is a finely tuned balance of American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks, delivering a harmonious marriage of sweetness and spice. Crafted with precision and aged for a full fifteen years, this expression captures the lush richness of European oak with the creamy softness of American oak, all wrapped in the hallmark Macallan sherried style. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is both approachable and deeply rewarding, striking a balance between indulgent flavor and classic elegance.

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Golden butterscotch with a bright, natural glow

Aroma
Dried fruits and warm spice open the nose, followed by toffee, vanilla bean, and orange zest. Hints of cinnamon, baked apple, and honeyed almonds round out the profile with richness and depth.

Palate
Silky and full-bodied, the palate unfolds in layers: raisins and sultanas drenched in sweet oak, accented by clove, nutmeg, and creamy butterscotch. Vanilla and chocolate intertwine, supported by subtle citrus and gentle spice.

Finish
Medium to long, warming and rounded. Sweet oak lingers with fading dried fruits and soft spice.

Region (Speyside Character)
Classic Speyside elegance shines through in this expression—fruity, floral, and refined—but enhanced by the bold character of sherry-seasoned oak. The influence of both American and European oak casks provides contrast and complexity.
