THE MACALLAN RARE CASK at The Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News
July 25th, 2015
Crafted only from handpicked Spanish oak casks, which previously contained sherry. The Macallan’s casks are amongst the most precious and scarce used in single malt whisky. The rich, ruby colour distinguishes this as a classic Macallan whisky, and it is the interaction of spirit and wood which delivers this vibrant colour. The intensity of Rare Cask’s character was made by The Macallan’s Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno.
The Taste:
Silky smooth with lots of the rich, dried fruit flavours expected of The Macallan. Lots of dried fruit and raisins, with toasted oak, vanilla and a chocolatey sweetness. A full and warming finish with light citrus notes.
