This is Macallan’s newest core label that includes a 3rd kind of cask to the maturation procedure: Sherry seasoned American oak, or basically ex-Bourbon barrels that are full of Sherry, delegated rest, after that dumped and utilized for maturation.
Both color-wise and flavor-wise, it’s lighter and also meltier than the Macallan 30 Year Old Sherry Oak and also Dual Cask versions. If you like Sherry, but you do not want it to dominate the taste profile, this is the Macallan expression for you.
Currently in a black box, as opposed to a purple one (like the Sherry Oak 12), this what utilized to be the only Macallan 18 on the marketplace; full-term Sherry growth.
For many single malt enthusiasts, this is the standard for deluxe single malt. It’s the Rolex Submariner of whiskies.
Just like the 12 year Dual Cask, the 18 year old sees time in both ex-Bourbon and also Sherry oak.
For my cash, this is the brand-new 18 year standard. I appreciated this much more than the 18 year Sherry Oak. Costly whisky should have layers. It must broaden on your taste buds and also you need to reveal new tastes as it surrenders your tongue. The Dual Oak 18 has those layers. That’s what you’re paying for.
The Macallan website will certainly try to clarify their numbered editions as tributes to the natural color of Macallan, however really they’re just nuanced blends of different barrel types, damaged down on the front of package by kind. You have actually got seasoned American oak, numerous types of butts, etc.
Once again, there’s no age statement on the whisky or connected to the numerous barrels utilized, yet like the Estate they’re making up for the absence of information with all the taste.
