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.

Ratings & Reviews
guest,
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,
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,
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,
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 😋
