Description
Macallan Rare Cask
Rare Cask has been crafted from only handpicked Spanish Sherry seasoned oak casks, some of the most precious and scarce in Single Malt Whisky, with an exceptionally high proportion of them being first fill. The Macallan’s wood policy is unrivalled and it is this commitment to sourcing the industry’s finest, most expensive and exclusive casks that has given rise to Rare Cask, an exquisite whisky with a splendidly rich and resonant hue.
TASTING NOTES
- Colour – Mahogany
- ABV – 43.0%
- Nose – Opulent, yet soft and slightly meandering, picture an orchestra setting up: quiet vanilla with deep notes, already in tune; raisin bold and booming, though only in spells; chocolate a star performer, but not a standout; a sweet ensemble of apple, lemon and orange, beautifully balanced with a spicy quartet of root ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Then oak conducts, mature and elegant, with patience only time delivers.
- Palate – The spicy quartet leads, loud and full, unwavering in their performance. Raisin dares to temper – and succeeds!! – but oak takes control; timeless, polished, rich and resonating. Vanilla and chocolate compliment each other in the background
- Finish – Light citrus zest, yet full and warming
- The Perfect Serve
- BRING THE FLAVOURS TO LIFE
