Macallans new Rare Cask uses handpicked first-fill sherry casks from the top 1% of barrels currently aging at the distillery. The result is a richer, darker, more chocolately version of Macallan with a thicker profile and a complex palate of raisins, sultana, orange peel, and ginger. With the current market craze for first-fill sherry whisky, a la Aberlour ABunadh and Glendronach, the Rare Cask represents an aggressive and more modern approach from the typically conservative Macallan. This is bold, chewy, full-bodied single malt that showcases the deep stocks and the immaculate wood management from Scotlands most iconic distillery. Its a whisky that provides a peek into the most choice sherry-aged whiskies currently available. This is an extraordinary lesson in the decadent pleasures of sherry fill whiskies. The Spanish wine has imbued the malt with dense flavors of grilled plums, fig pudding, butter cream icing, and French pastry. The mouthfeel in all-encompassing and the finish luxuriously lingers. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. 43% ABV. Spices and raisin are complemented by oak, vanilla and chocolate, ending with light citrus zest Liquor
