KUALA LUMPUR, 17 July 2024 – The Macallan has announced the launch of the Rare Cask 2024 Release. This highly anticipated expression continues the distillery’s tradition of excellence, showcasing the finest and rarest sherry seasoned oak casks that are hand-selected by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team.
Made by the finest craftsmen, The Macallan Rare Cask 2024 Release offers a distinctive and complex flavour profile, characterised by dominant sensations of sweet raisin notes, complemented by soft hints of vanilla and dark chocolate and layers of light citrus zest, culminating in a velvety smooth mouthfeel. The refreshingly sweet fusion of fresh apple, lemon and orange gives way to a long and rich finish.
Every cask of exceptional single malt whisky maturing at The Macallan Estate possesses its own personality, marked by subtle nuances that make them unique. From time to time, the Whisky Maker, in their quest to seek out the extraordinary, comes across casks maturing in warehouses that stand out from the others in a very particular way. These casks are a rare and special discovery, and are integral to The Macallan Rare Cask’s character.
The selection process reveals the remarkable artistry and expertise of the Whisky Maker in identifying unique oak casks that impart a distinctive and complex flavour profile. These precious casks also feature an entirely natural deep ruby mahogany colour and offer a complexity that is synonymous with The Macallan’s full-bodied character, granting an indulgent and highly sensory whisky experience.
The Macallan Rare Cask 2024 Release represents the pinnacle of the core range, with the commitment to uncompromised excellence being evident in every bottle and the Whisky Mastery Team’s skill, passion, and creativity bringing to life a truly exceptional single malt whisky. It is a testament to the art and science of whisky making, showcasing the influence of the exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks, which are the single greatest contributor to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours at the heart of the brand.
