The 2020 release of the Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask brings together the distillery's celebrated sherry oak expertise with the complementary characters of both American and European oak, creating a whisky of real nuance and sophistication. Part of Macallan's prestigious Double Cask series, this expression sits alongside the Sherry Oak range as a more layered, multi-dimensional take on long-aged Macallan.
Matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks across both American and European oak, the two wood types work in harmony to produce a whisky with the rich, fruity sweetness of the European oak balanced by the softer, more delicate vanilla and coconut notes that American oak contributes. The result is a beautifully rounded 18-year-old expression with greater complexity than either cask type could deliver alone.
As a 2020 release now several years behind us, remaining bottles are increasingly hard to source at retail, adding further desirability for Macallan collectors and investors alike.
Colour
Colour: Warm amber gold, reflecting its dual maturation in American and European sherry-seasoned oak.
Nose
Nose: Elegant and layered, with notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and gentle sherry sweetness from the American oak, deepened by the richer, spicier character of European oak. Hints of toffee, citrus, and soft spice develop with time.
Palate
Palate: Smooth and refined, opening with honeyed sweetness and orchard fruit, developing into dried fruit, warm cinnamon spice, and a gentle oakiness, with a satisfying depth and balance throughout.
Finish
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering vanilla sweetness, gentle spice, and a final note of soft, sherry-tinged oak.
