Description
Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2022 Release 70cl, 43% is an annual-release Speyside single malt from The Macallan’s Double Cask collection, bottled at 43% ABV in 70cl format and matured for 18 years in both American and European sherry-seasoned oak casks. The style is built around the balance of the two oak types, with American oak bringing delicate vanilla sweetness and European oak contributing subtle spice, structure, and depth.
This 2022 release offers the polished and warming profile that has made Double Cask 18 Years Old so appealing, sitting slightly softer and creamier in style than the more spice-led Sherry Oak range. It is a composed, luxurious Macallan with mature sherried character, elegant oak influence, and the kind of presentation that works equally well for drinking, gifting, or collecting.
Why Choose Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2022 Release 70cl, 43%
