Description

The Macallan 15 Years Double Cask is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky that combines tradition and innovation. This whisky is aged in a combination of American and European oak casks, both seasoned with Oloroso sherry. The American oak adds delicate vanilla and citrus notes, while the European oak contributes rich spices and dried fruit flavors.

Released as a 15 years old for the first time, Gran Reserva is a rich, fruity and full-bodied single malt whisky, matured predominantly in first-fill sherry seasoned European oak casks. Once filled into casks hand-picked by the Macallan Master Distiller, previously under the care of the Master of Wood, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed for a full 15 years. Here, inside the carefully sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned oak, this tantalising single malt develops its natural colour, distinctive aromas and lingering flavours.

A statement in the exquisite influence of the exceptional oak casks in transforming the finest cut of the ‘new make’ spirit, this whisky offers an extraordinary experience in taste and aroma.
