Macallan 30 Year Old Double Cask 2021 ReleaseSpeyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl 43% The 2021 release of Macallan's 30 year old Double Cask, which is aged in Oloroso sherry seasoned American and European oak casks. Macallan's Double Cask whiskies are stylistically in the middle of the distillery's core range: heavier than the Triple Cask series but not as full on as the Sherry Oak releases, with toffee, dried fruit, and cake spices on a backbone of elegant oak.
