The Macallan Double Cask Series Single Malt Whisky
The Macallan Double Cask series is a core range of single malts that balance the sweetness of American oak with the richness of European oak, both seasoned with sherry. This dual maturation process creates a whisky that is both smooth and complex, offering the best of both wood influences.
The series includes:
- Double Cask 12 Years Old
- Double Cask 15 Years Old
- Double Cask 18 Years Old
- Double Cask 30 Years Old

Production Process
The Double Cask whiskies are aged in two types of oak casks:
American Oak Sherry Casks: Bring vanilla, citrus, and honey notes.
European Oak Sherry Casks: Add depth with dried fruit, spice, and chocolate.
Both cask types are seasoned with sherry in Jerez, Spain, before being used for maturation, ensuring a consistent influence of rich and sweet flavors.
