Name:
The Macallan 15 Years Old Double Cask Astucciato
Cellar
The Macallan Distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid as the Elchies Distillery. Located near Easter Elchies House, in Craigellachie, in the Speyside region of Scotland. It was one of the first to open after the legalisation of distilleries in the early 1800s and in 1892, following a change of ownership, took the name Macallan-Glenlivet, later changed to just Macallan. Over the years, the distillery has become famous for its ageing in former sherry casks, for the first bottlings dedicated to Italian importers and for the glorious exports of the 1970s and 1980s, gaining the fame that today makes Macallan the king of single malt whiskies: a true status symbol in the world of spirits.
Description
The Macallan 15 Years Old Double Cask is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from The Macallan Distilleries. It is a distinctly balanced and perfectly balanced single malt.
Aged in a mixture of American and European oak casks, then blended in ex-Sherry Oloroso casks. The fruity and citrus profile of the 15-year-old gives way to increasing complexity, notes of fruit in spirit and spices on the finish.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Golden yellow in colour with golden highlights. At first impact, there is a hint of caramel with candied orange and lemon, along with vanilla and oak.
On the palate, it has unmistakable notes of milk chocolate sultanas and creamy toffee, balanced with orange peel and delicate spices.
Storage time:
over 20 years
