The Macallan 15 Years Old Double Cask (700ml)

The Macallan 15 Years Old Double Cask balances the richness of sherry-seasoned oak with an American oak influence. Aromas of vanilla, light gunpowder spice, and warm oak precede a palate of toffee, orange zest, and a gentle malty sweetness. There's an undertone of tropical fruits and light oak tannins, leading to a softer finish. The whisky holds freshness and richness in tension, though a slightly lower strength leaves the finish a touch lean. Still, it is expressive and layered, with a pleasing warmth.
