The Macallan Double Cask 15 Year Old Scotch Whisky 750mL
The Macallan Double Cask 15 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | 750mL
Process & Profile
The Macallan Double Cask 15 Year Old brings together single malt whisky matured in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks. The casks are seasoned in Jerez, Spain, before contributing their distinct characters to the whisky: vanilla-led sweetness from American oak and dried fruit and spice from European oak.
Matured for at least 15 years, this expression sits between the 12 and 18 Year Old bottlings in the Double Cask range. Its color comes naturally from the casks. This 750mL bottling is 43% ABV, or 86 proof, with a balance of fruit, creamy sweetness and oak spice suited to slow sipping.
