THE MACALLAN 30YRS DOUBLE CASK│700ml

DESCRIPTION

Sourced under the watchful eye of The Macallan Master of Wood, the hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain are delivered to the demanding specifications of The Macallan Master Distiller.

When the tree is felled, the rich timber is sawn into staves and left to dry in the open air. The staves then journey to the south of Spain, for further air drying before being crafted into casks and toasted over an open fire in the cooperages of Jerez. Filled with dry Oloroso sherry, the casks are left season for up to two years before being emptied and shipped to The Macallan Distillery, Speyside, Scotland.

Once filled with The Macallan’s ‘new make’ spirit, the casks lie undisturbed for over twenty-five years. It is the oak gives this whisky all of its natural colour and makes the greatest contribution to the quality, distinctive aromas and flavours of this single malt of great richness and character.
