But the 18 year old is definitely my favourite, it’s more oily in the taste and slightly more robust. Each release is a step up from the other, but it clearly remains in the same flavour profile. Where the 15 year old leans a bit more towards the fresh, fruity side, the 18 year old is getting a bit spicier. Think for example of the oranges, raisins and also that ginger. You can notice that it are bottles from the same range, many of the same flavours are reflected in all these releases. Nutmeg and cinnamon.įinish: mid-long and a bit drying.
Honey at first, which is quickly followed by sweet raisins. Nose: quite the sherry influence, and I have to start with dried fruits again, dates, raisins. Score: 83/100 Macallan double cask 18 tasting notes: Some spices here as well, such as crushed black peppercorns, nutmeg. Cinnamon and some nutmeg in the background.įinish: mid-long. A hint of sulphur, but in the very background.
Nose: dried fruits, such as figs and dates. However, there is a difference with the existing bottles and that is that both the 15 year old and the 18 year old are bottled at 43% instead of 40% ABV.
MACALLAN WHISKEY ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE SERIES
All single malts in this series are aged in a combination of American oak and European oak Oloroso sherry casks, and the same applies to the two newcomers. The idea behind the Double Cask is simple. But since last Wednesday, two bottles have been added to the range, namely a 15 year old and 18 year old single malt. The Macallan Double Cask series has been released for the first time since 2016 and until now has consisted only of the Macallan Double Cask Gold and the Macallan Double Cask 12 year old.
