Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask brings together American oak and European oak sherry seasoned casks to create a beautifully balanced Speyside single malt. The influence of American oak adds vanilla sweetness and citrus lift, while European oak contributes dried fruit richness and gentle spice. After fifteen patient years, the result is a whisky with depth, harmony and a signature Macallan silkiness.
Crafted with the distillery's hallmark commitment to quality, this Double Cask expression is polished and expressive, ideal for unhurried sipping. It showcases the natural colour, sherry cask character and precise maturation that have made Macallan a benchmark for refined single malt Scotch.

Rich golden amber with bright honeyed highlights.
Nose
Aromas of honey, vanilla pod and toffee apple, followed by orange zest, sultanas and a touch of cinnamon. Subtle oak undertones bring nutmeg and toasted almond.
Palate
Silky and rounded. Flavours of crème caramel, baked pear and milk chocolate lead, layered with raisins, candied citrus and soft spice. The American oak sweetness balances the European oak depth, giving poise and clarity.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering notes of sweet oak, gentle ginger, sultana and a final hint of vanilla cream.
How to enjoy
Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask is a graceful Speyside single malt that rewards slow appreciation. Enjoy neat, with a splash of water, or over a single large cube, and pair with dark chocolate, spiced desserts or a quiet after-dinner moment.
