The Macallan Rare Cask Black Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

This whisky tells a different story of The Macallan spirit and casks, but more than that, it tells a story of rarity. Select casks at The Macallan Estate have contributed to the creation of this distinct whisky; from time to time our Whisky Master Team discover casks maturing in our warehouses which stand out from the others. These exceptionally rare casks of The Macallan have an intense sweet raisin flavour, and a rich velvety mouthfeel.

These casks remain untouched in the dark warehouses of The Macallan under the watchful eye of our Whisky Mastery Team until they are ready to be released.

This spirit matures in American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks, with its peat smoke character gained from exceptionally rare, aged stocks of peated distillation. Unexpected and distinctive in flavour with full bodied richness from The Macallan spirit, Rare Cask Black is an unusual smoky single malt that tells a story of creativity and innovation.

"Pretty rich and some intense, molasses, black cherry and liquorice notes to die for ..." - Jim Murray, Whisky Bible
