The Macallan Double Cask 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished expression within The Macallan's range, highlighting the harmonious marriage of two distinct oak types. This single malt is matured for 18 years in a balanced combination of sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, which imparts a unique character that blends the sweeter notes of American oak with the traditional spice of European oak. It is typically bottled at 43% ABV.
