For Macallan Rare Cask Batch 1 2019, the distillery selected a small number of special casks. Each cask contributes unique flavour and depth. As a result, the whisky shows a rich and balanced character. Macallan carefully manages its oak supply. The distillery seasons many casks with sherry before using them for whisky maturation.

Because of this approach, the whisky develops strong dried fruit flavours and warm spice notes. The Rare Cask series focuses on richness and intensity. Each batch therefore reflects the character of the selected casks. Macallan Rare Cask Flavour Profile Rich aromas appear first on the nose. Dried fruit leads the aroma. Soon afterwards, vanilla and chocolate notes appear.

Meanwhile, warm spice adds depth. Across the palate, the whisky feels smooth and full bodied. Sweet malt appears first. Afterwards, fruit and caramel flavours develop slowly. At the same time, oak spice adds structure. As the whisky opens further, deeper flavours appear. Dark chocolate and toasted oak may develop. Finally, warm spice remains in the finish. The finish feels long, rich and balanced. Rare Cask Series The Macallan Rare Cask series celebrates exceptional oak casks.

Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, the Elchies Distillery as it was known initially, did not become the Macallan-Glenlivet in name until 1892. Since then, it has undergone massive expansion with Edrington and William Grant & Sons combining forces in 1999 to purchase Highland Distillers for £601 million. By then, the reputation of the distillery for its sherry-led style of whisky was already firmly in place. The new ownership model has enabled the distillery to produce new ranges, reach out to new demographics and establish itself as an international brand of quality. Bottles are Macallan are increasingly sought after for their commodity value and not the contents, which often are of high quality. Moving to a new distillery site in recent years, will in the long-term, allow Macallan to produce more and if needed, the old distillery sits idle despite being capable of producing 11 million litres before it closed in 2018.
