The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old pairs American and European sherry-seasoned oak across three decades, a combination the house uses to balance sweet vanilla with spice. It is a mature, generous single malt for a serious collection.
The Macallan is a Speyside distillery. In the Double Cask series, the house marries whisky from sherry-seasoned American oak and European oak casks. The American oak adds sweet vanilla and the European oak adds spice.
This 30 Years Old is matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV). Color is described by the house as golden acorn.
