Distiller Notes
The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old is a balanced single malt whisky created by bringing the perfect harmony of two oaks into one exceptional single malt whisky. Sherry seasoned American oak adds delicate vanilla to the subtle spice of European oak, delivering a whisky with a sweeter, warmer taste and character.
A golden butterscotch color. Dried fruit, toffee and vanilla with smooth oak and baked apple aromas. Balanced with notes of honey and chocolate. On the palate, hints of vanilla, wood spice and citrus. The finish is warm with ginger turning to caramel and citrus, with a lingering and creamy mouth feel.
