Tasting Notes

Macallan 18 Year Double Cask is a refined single malt matured in a combination of American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks. The nose opens with rich dried fruits, orange marmalade, and warm vanilla, layered with subtle oak spice and a touch of toasted almond. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, revealing flavors of caramel, honey, butterscotch, and gentle cinnamon, complemented by hints of baked apple and soft citrus. The finish is long and elegant, leaving lingering notes of sweet oak, dried fruit, and delicate spice warmth.
