30 Year Old Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2021

Thirty years, two oaks, one harmonious whisky. Here’s an exceptional release for those who like to discover something new with the comfort of the familiar. The Macallan 30 Year Old Double Cask 2021 is the first ultra-prestige expression in this ever-popular range and the oldest, and as such will be highly sought-after for its collectability.

This perfectly balanced Scotch was created by Kirsteen Campbell – who considers oak the “single greatest contributor” to Macallan’s style – and it was matured for three decades in a combination of Sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, the former coming from Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky, while the latter were sourced from northern Spain and the French Pyrenees. Tucked neatly into a luxurious solid oak presentation box, this very special Macallan pours the colour of a golden acorn and has a nose of fresh honeycomb, toffee apple and fig tart with vanilla ice cream. On the palate, Christmas spices and Madagascan vanilla mingle with dried fruit and sweet oak. Mind-blowingly complex, it’s an instant classic. Don’t miss out on its very first outing.

“Macallan is the daddy, as far as legendary whiskies go.” So says whisky expert Ian Buxton. Boasting a rich history dating back to 1824, it is one of Scotland’s most renowned and respected whisky producers, with a fiercely competitive cult following. Located in the illustrious Speyside region, Macallan has built up an iconic reputation for its Single Malt releases, with demand and prices seeming to constantly be on the rise. Their huge global demand was perfectly illustrated by a 30-year-old cask breaking auction records when it sold for $375,000 (US) in Hong Kong. Deservedly so, it remains the aficionado’s choice when it comes to Scotch.
