The Macallan Double Cask 18 Years Old
Review
Yes, this whisky is expensive — but rightfully so. One of the most luxurious permanent expressions available, having joined The Macallan core Double Cask lineup a few years ago, this single malt aged in oloroso-seasoned American and European oak casks. Its profile is as luscious and opulent as it gets. Booze-soaked golden raisins, ginger, and caramel dance on the nose, while defined dried fruit and hints of nuts satisfy the palate. Treat yourself and enjoy this bottle over time for special occasions.
