The Macallan Rare Cask Black
A Story Of Rarity
These mysterious 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.




Containing spirit maturing in American and European sherry-seasoned oak casks, Rare Cask Black sees the addition of 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 spirit that tells a story of creativity and innovation.
