This whisky tells a different story of The Macallan spirit and casks, but more than that, it tells a story of rarity. Select casks at The Macallan Estate have contributed to the creation of this distinct whisky; from time to time thier Whisky Master Team discover casks maturing in our warehouses which stand out from the others. These exceptionally rare casks of The Macallan have an intense sweet raisin flavour, and a rich velvety mouthfeel.
This spirit matures in American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks, with its 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 single malt that tells a story of creativity and innovation
The Rare Cask was introduced in 2014 as a permanent addition to the 1824 Master Series, a premium tier of the regular 1824 core range which was marketed between 2012 and 2018. When the the 1824 series was discontinued in 2018, the Rare Cask was retained as part of the portfolio, becoming an annual small batch release
Yet another very hard to find whisky indeed
