    • Single Malt Scotch Whisky · Double Cask, 15 Years

      Two different oaks, both seasoned exclusively with sherry — no bourbon casks anywhere in the mix. Macallan owns the relationships with Spanish cooperages that make this possible.

      🏆Both Cask Types Seasoned Only With Sherry 🏆Direct Relationships with Spanish Cooperages

      American oak, sourced from Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky, contributes vanilla and cream; European oak, from Spain and the French Pyrenees, brings spice and tannin — but crucially, both are seasoned purely with sherry rather than the more common bourbon-then-sherry approach used elsewhere in the industry.

      Questions

      Why is it called "Double Cask" if both are sherry casks?
      It refers to the two different types of oak, American and European, rather than two different sherry styles. Macallan seasons both with sherry itself, then blends the resulting whiskies for a wider flavour range than either cask alone could give.
      Is any bourbon cask used in this whisky?
      No — unlike many "sherry finished" whiskies elsewhere in the industry that start in ex-bourbon barrels, Macallan's Double Cask uses casks seasoned exclusively with sherry from the outset, for both the American and European oak.
      Why does Macallan's colour vary naturally?
      No colouring is added to Macallan whiskies — the golden-to-amber hue comes entirely from the interaction between the spirit and the cask wood during maturation.
