Rare Cask 2022 Release
The Macallan Rare Cask 2022 Release - A rare and special discovery
The Macallan has launched Rare Cask 2022 Release – a single malt whisky which reveals the remarkable art and science of the Whisky Maker in selecting the unique oak casks which exhibit a distinctive and complex flavour profile.
Rare Cask is crafted from the finest and rarest sherry seasoned oak casks, unearthed by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team using their knowledge, skill, passion and creativity in their quest to seek out the extraordinary.
A rare and special discovery, these hand-picked casks of The Macallan feature a deep ruby mahogany natural colour and display an intense sweet raisin note, coupled with an incredibly rich, velvety smooth mouthfeel and complexity, to offer an indulgent and highly sensory whisky experience.
“It is only these precious sherry seasoned oak casks with their intense sweet raisin note which fit the criteria for Rare Cask, making it one of the most complex whiskies in the range. This multifaceted single malt has a complex flavour profile of intense sweet raisin, vanilla and dark chocolate and an indulgent and rich velvety smooth mouthfeel, synonymous with The Macallan’s full-bodied character, to offer a truly sensory experience.”
