Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2025 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A Perfect Balance of American and European Oak
The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2025 Release is a masterfully crafted single malt Scotch whisky matured for a minimum of 18 years in sherry seasoned American and European oak casks. This exceptional ageing process creates a harmonious balance between sweetness and spice. As a result, each sip reveals depth, elegance, and unmistakable character.
Seasoned in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, the oak casks absorb rich sherry wine before they begin their journey to Speyside, Scotland. There, The Macallan’s new make spirit matures slowly, drawing natural colour, aroma, and complexity from the wood. Consequently, the whisky develops its entirely natural colour without artificial additives.
Rich Aroma and Complex Flavour
From the first pour, this 2025 annual release captivates the senses. On the nose, expect inviting notes of dried fruit and toffee, complemented by candied citrus peel, ginger, and nutmeg. The aroma feels warm, layered, and refined.
On the palate, raisin and sultana lead the way, followed by dried apricot and treacle toffee. Subtle hints of vanilla and sweet ginger emerge, thanks to the American oak influence. Meanwhile, European oak contributes gentle spice and structure. Toasted wood spice and baked apple add further depth. The finish lingers long, with warm oak and bright citrus notes that leave a lasting impression.
The Art of Double Cask Maturation
The Double Cask Collection celebrates the union of two distinct woods. American oak delivers smooth vanilla and fresh fruit sweetness. European oak introduces soft spice and dried fruit richness. Together, they create a smooth, creamy, and beautifully balanced whisky that grows more complex with age.
Each cask selected for this expression has matured exclusively in sherry seasoned oak for nearly two decades. Therefore, the whisky achieves remarkable harmony and structure while maintaining a vibrant character.
