Luxurious, rare, and masterfully crafted – The Macallan Rare Cask is the pinnacle of Speyside single malts.

Hand-selected from the most exceptional sherry-seasoned oak butts, many first-fill and sourced from cooperages now retired. Rare Cask is an exclusive, non-age-statement expression celebrated for its unparalleled depth and colour. Each bottle showcases the distillery’s expertise in wood selection and maturation, delivering natural tone and complexity.

Expect a rich mahogany‑ruby hue and an indulgent sensory experience:

• Nose: Warm vanilla and sweet raisin with accents of fresh apple, orange zest, and lemon citrus 

• Palate: Intensely rich with dried fruits, raisin, fig, dark chocolate, and vanilla—layered over toasty oak, milk chocolate, and light citrus zest 

• Finish: Long, velvety, and mouthcoating, highlighted by lingering oak spice and dark fruit sweetness
