More questions

The Macallan 18Y Double Cask Whisky is a deeply rich and multi-layered expression from the renowned Macallan distillery, located in the Speyside region of Scotland. This whisky has been aged for 18 years in a unique combination of American and European oak casks previously used for Sherry. This maturation method imparts the spirit with a distinctive character and exceptional complexity.

From its golden amber color, it reveals intensely aromatic notes on the nose of dried fruits, dates, and figs, enriched by hints of milk chocolate and sweet spices like cinnamon and ginger. On the palate, the Macallan 18Y Double Cask offers a silky texture, with a rich palette of flavors including caramel, roasted nuts, and orange marmalade. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste of cooked fruit and a slight smoky note that adds depth and refinement.

Presented in an elegant gift box, the Macallan 18Y Double Cask is ideal for lovers of high-quality whisky or as a prestigious gift for special occasions. A true gem from the Macallan distillery that elevates the heritage and art of high-level Scottish whisky production.

The story
The Macallan was officially licensed to distil by Alexander Reid in 1824; the company developed on the Easter Elchies Estate in Craigellachie (Speyside). Over the 20th century production and the brand evolved and eventually became part of the Edrington group. In 2018 a new headquarters/distillery and visitor centre designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners was opened, intended to preserve the historical character while increasing production capacity.
Distillation
Small copper pot stills ('Curiously Small Stills') built by Forsyths; traditional new‑make production process for single malt (use of copper pot stills).
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks with heavy use of sherry‑seasoned casks (Jerez, often Oloroso); combined use of European and American oak and of ex‑bourbon casks. Many casks are seasoned with Oloroso in Jerez before arriving in Scotland.
