Distillery
The Macallan Distillery, founded in 1824 in Speyside (Scotland), is one of the world’s most prestigious distilleries, renowned for its dedication to excellence. The Double Cask collection reflects the ideal fusion of tradition and innovation, bringing together the best of two carefully selected types of oak casks from Jerez (Spain).
The 18-year ageing process in American and European oak seasoned with sherry results in an extraordinarily deep whisky, where smoothness, balance and complexity come together in perfect harmony.
