A blend from mature casks that represent the distillery's quintessential style. More info
Rare Cask blends exceptional barrels that represent The Macallan’s quintessential character. Each cask has its own story, a personality it confers to the distillate, thus transforming a simple alcohol into a fine whisky.
Aged extensively in former sherry casks, this expression has a mahogany tone in the glass, and its nose reveals intense notes of raisins and vanilla. After aerating, notes of apple, lemon, and orange zest emerge. A floral touch and hints in biscuit complete the ensemble. The rich and velvety palate has a complex flavour palette of dark chocolate, citrus, ginger, and malt, evolving to a long and caramelised finish. A complex and characterful single malt bottled in 2021 at 43%.

Macallan is to Scottish single malts what Petrus is to French grand crus - a monument! To this day, no other distillery has sold a single edition at such a high auction price as The Macallan 60 Year Old 1926 Dillon, which fetched £1.2 million in 2018.Macallan owes this renown to the excellence of its production methods and its sherry-cask maturation, as well as the business acumen of its owners who, in the early 20th century, set out to conquer numerous markets, and the aptness of their vision of the distillery and its single malt, which they recognized as being akin to a château and grand cru. This led to the whisky adopting practices from the world of wine, including vintage bottlings for all versions aged 15 years and older, with the help up until the late 1960s of companies such as Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail, who bottled and distributed the malt on The Macallan's behalf. The 1990s saw the appearance of elegant 25 and 30 year olds, including those presented in the Tudor Crystal Decanters range, presaging the change in direction The Macallan would take in the new millennium. In 1999, an outstanding copper-adorned curved crystal decanter was released for a 50 Year Old edition distilled in 1949.
