Say hello to the 2020 release of The Macallan Rare Cask! The Rare Cask series from the legendary distillery in Speyside features whisky drawn from hand-selected European sherry seasoned oak butts, showing off the fantastically rich and complex flavor profile we know and love from Macallan
Tasting Notes Nose: Opulent, yet soft and slightly meandering, picture an orchestra setting up: quiet vanilla with deep notes, already in tune; raisin bold and booming, though only in spells; chocolate a star performer, but not a standout; a sweet ensemble of apple, lemon, and orange, beautifully balanced with a spicy quartet of root ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Then oak conducts, mature and elegant, with patience only time delivers.
Palate: The spicy quartet leads, loud and full, unwavering in their performance. Raisin dares to temper - and succeeds – but oak takes control; timeless, polished, rich, and resonating. Vanilla and chocolate compliment each other in the background.
