Macallan Rare Black Cask

Description

Macallan Rare Black Cask is one of the high class bottles from the Macallan 1824 collection. Take care, this is definitely one of the bottles that you need to be putting away somewhere safe, as the value on this will increase like all of the rarer Macallan bottlings.

A smoky Macallan?  For sure my friends. Thank god, such a thing exists! Macallan Rare Cask Black was made from a marriage of less than 100 casks, resulting in an expression that shows off a fascinating combination of rich peat smoke and Macallan’s characteristic sherried power. By the way, peaty whisky is very much a rarity from Macallan. So this is very much an exciting bottling!

Tasting Notes

Nose: Tobacco-rich smokiness, with spicy hints of old oak and pepparkakor. Moreover, heavily sherried notes of fig jam and buttery sultana scones give away the whisky’s Speyside roots.

Palate: Damson, dates and Demerara sugar. The earthy and herbaceous peaty elements take their time to reveal.

Finish: A mixture of dark chocolate, fresh ginger and a whiff of bonfire smoke.
