Description
The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak & Double Cask 18 Year Bundle – 750 mL Each
Elevate your tasting experience with this exceptional pairing of two of The Macallan’s most prestigious aged expressions—18 Year Old Sherry Oak and 18 Year Old Double Cask. This bundle highlights two distinctive approaches to maturation within the same age category: full European sherry cask aging vs. a balanced union of American and European sherry-seasoned oak.
🌳 The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak
A truly refined expression, aged exclusively in Oloroso sherry-seasoned European oak casks, this whisky displays deep complexity and luxurious depth.
-
Nose: Dried orchard fruits (raisins, dates), rich spiced oak, sweet tobacco, and dark caramel.
-
Palate: Dense layers of toffee, dried fruits, warm baking spice, and roasted nuts, with elegant oak structure.
-
Finish: Long, smooth, and warming with lingering spice and a refined oak-tinged dry finish.
🪵 The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask
Combining the warmth of American oak with the richness of European oak, this 18-year-old expression brings graceful balance and nuance.
-
Nose: Soft vanilla, honeycomb, orange marmalade, toasted oak, and light spice.
-
Palate: Creamy and rich with caramel apple, cinnamon, honeyed oak, and dried fruit.
-
Finish: Elegant and mellow with sweet oak, dried fruit, and gentle spice fading smoothly.
🎯 Why This Bundle Stands Out
-
Matured Excellence: Both whiskies share an 18-year age statement but offer distinct flavor journeys through their cask differences.
-
Comparative Tasting: Ideal for sampling and appreciating how cask selection shapes character—Sherry Oak for depth and spice, Double Cask for bright elegance.
-
Perfect for Connoisseurs or Gifts: Whether you're expanding your collection or gifting to someone special, this bundle speaks of luxury and taste.
🥂 Best Ways to Enjoy
-
Neat or with Water: Add a drop of water to reveal hidden layers.
-
Food Pairings: Sherry Oak complements dark chocolate, blue cheese, or figs; Double Cask matches well with fruit tartlets or nutty desserts.
-
Tasting Flights: Great addition to guided tastings—explore each expression, then compare back-to-back.
This duo celebrates The Macallan’s mastery in oak influence and aging excellence—two 18-year-old masterpieces that stand strong individually and shine even brighter together.
