The Macallan Double Cask 30 Year Old is one of the most prestigious expressions in The Macallans age-stated range three decades in American and European sherry-seasoned oak at the Easter Elchies estate in Speyside, producing a whisky of genuine rarity and complexity that represents the apex of the Double Cask program.

The Double Cask series uses both American and European sherry-seasoned oak (versus the Sherry Oak series which uses exclusively European Spanish oak), producing a lighter, more accessible sherry character at every age statement. At 30 years, the combination of American oak vanilla and butterscotch and European oak dried fruit and spice has achieved full integration a balanced, complex, and exceptionally smooth expression.
