You don’t ask questions… you just stop and drink it in.  

In 2009 The Macallan issued a statement saying that they had passed Glenfiddich to become the second largest producer of Single Malt Scotch in the world, behind only Glenlivet. The Big 3 definitely stand far above the others in production, and, fortunately for us, they have achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. No small feat.  
For master cooper Stuart MacPherson, wood is serious business. Wood is so integral to the making of Macallan Whisky that Stuart has the actual title of "Master of Wood."
 
The Macallan Rare Cask is a Single Malt of the first order. Every drop is pure Macallan, and all of it is aged in Stuart’s carefully acquired Sherry casks. This is where Bob Dalgarno comes in. Bob is the Official Whisky Maker, and he gets the awesome and intimidating task of blending Macallans of various casks and ages to achieve a special flavor profile. If it needs a little citrus and stone fruit, add younger Whiskies. If it needs more chocolate and wood spice, add older. Taste is the key… and with The Macallan Rare Cask, taste is achieved. 
 
Even the packaging is special. The bright red box swings open like French doors to reveal the cut crystal decanter with a perfect taper and plunging neckline. But you won’t find an age stamp on the beautiful packaging that it comes in. A gentleman never asks. Besides, that is just the gown… the dressing for the luscious Spirit within. The color is a light mahogany, the flavor gently sweet and rich with a full body, intoxicating aroma, and a mouth-feel that is… sensual.  
 
Cheers to Stuart and Bob… nice job lads.

Micah
Micah,
Smooth, silky, sweet
 
Chris
Chris,
So good, I almost feel emotional. Which is saying something, considering I'm me.
 
Zach
Zach,
Very smooth, fantastic citrus finish
 
Louis
Louis,
I’ve had very expensive and rare whiskey and this consistently competes. It’s affordable for such high quality. This is my favorite scotch. The flavor is rich and the sip is smooth. I say this whiskey crushes most other whiskeys, even those that are aged much longer and are at a much higher price. This whiskey is usually not hard to find either, which is always a plus.
 
Orlando
Orlando,
Fantastic, this really is a damn fine whiskey. At almost $300 the price is outrages. That being said this thing taste sweet, oakey, with a long silky vanilla finish. Don't ruin this with water. Drink neat.
 
Ajay
Ajay,
first rate world class single malt finished in Sherry cask, with trademark Macallan smoke and finish. Heavy hitter. Rich amber red color and thick consistency.
 
Steve
Steve,
Fine, but unimaginative for the price. Certainly no Highland Park the Dark. Or Light. Or, ironically, Flaviar's Highland Park 12 year old. Although it is called Rare Cask, don't mistake that for cask strength. This is watered down already so you'll just take it neat. Sherry dominates. It tastes to me like a weak Kavalan.

Rick,
Delicious 😋

Unreal. Smooth.
 
Tom
Tom,
Sherry Bomb. Very easy drinker and good post dinner. However for the cost I prefer other Sherry scotches that are available on the market such as Glendronach 18
 
Felix
Felix,
Macallan Rare Cask is a great work of art in the world of whisky. I am being very stingy with it cause I do not want to run out sooner than normal. The nose reminds me of my childhood attic with a musty sweet aroma that I cant get enough of. The finish is like a symphony of expertly composed violins playing in unison. Masterful.
 
Evan
Evan,
Beautiful single malt
 
Judah
Judah,
A good dram but not befitting its price. There are other choices that are better.
 
Joseph

Smooth and flavorfull
 
Eduardo
Eduardo,
Delicious nose, chocolate, dried fruits, walnuts, vanilla and a bit of oak. A warming sensation equilibrated with a sweet note in the mouth and a long finish. Really nice
 
Michael
Michael,
Vanilla raisin oak , rich and smooth! But not so complex
 
Christopher
Christopher,
This is in a league of its own. I know the price is stiff, but treat yourself. You will not be disappointed.
 
Jitendra
Jitendra,
For the price, age and name... this is one of the best bet.... better than 18 year old
 
Thomas
Thomas,
Very good but at this price point I expect a little more than very good. Macallan makes a great product it's unfortunate that almost every bottle I've tried is good but not good enough to justify the price.
 
Sotirios
Sotirios,
The best I’ve had so far. Shockingly smooth. Expected nothing like the heaven I tasted.
 
Jason
Jason,
Got this as an anniversary present for $375 a few years ago and the flavor is not worth the price.
 
Javaris
Javaris,
Absolutely stunning
 
Ryan
Ryan,
WOW! Fantastic dram! It is amazing both neat or with a small ice cube. Incredibly smooth and the tastes of vanilla and dried fruit are obvious but not overwhelming.
 
Freddy
Freddy,
By far one of the best whiskeys I have had. This was actually pair with dessert and it was perfect. It is gentle from the tip of the tongue to your stomach. I highly recommend this whiskey to anyone (young or old).

love the smooth and sweet finish
 
Joseph
Joseph,
Amazing. Smooth. Oak and cinnamon up front. Mellow in the middle. Long leathery finish that lingers but does not burn. Mildly peaty. His ruined all other scotch for me.
 
Loren
Loren,
Fantastic Scotch! Best I have had thus far!
 
Jonathan
Jonathan,
Loved it, just too expensive to drink all the time.
 
Boyd
Boyd,
Tasting wheel is pretty accurate. Over time the chocolate becomes even More pronounced, some moderate spice then milky texture on the back end. Really enjoyed but over priced in the end
 
Ryan
Ryan,
This review is for the 9 year old cask strength matured in Sherry casks. Hints of maple syrup and spice, with a smooth finish after the burn!

A really fine whiskey. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Not the biggest Macallan fan, great flavors but not a lot of depth or dimension. Enjoy the 15 more over this one.

@ robert, arrggghhhhh me hearty! but seriously; i fell in love with a 25 Y.O. MacAllan received as a gift from my Irish employers/friends in 1986 when i was the last bartender out the door as they closed Shaunasee's in Santa Ana that year. Pat and Kevin were great Irishmen but neither had a CPA! i was still partaking of that bottle in 1993. wish i had had the strength to keep it longer. that, and Martell Cordon Bleu are my two favorites liquids of all time.
