Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2025 Release

The Double Cask from Macallan was introduced in 2018 as part of the newly revamped core range, alongside the Sherry Oak Cask and Triple Cask lines. Originally comprising the Gold and a 12 Year Old, a 15 and 18 Year Old expression were later added to the line in 2020.
Each expression within Macallan’s Double Cask Collection is a complex sensorial journey, beautifully balanced by European and American Oak, sherry seasoned in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
In a striking evolution of identity and storytelling, The Macallan has partnered with legendary graphic designer David Carson to reimagine the visual world of their timeless Collections, including the Sherry Oak Collection, Double Cask Collection and Colour Collection.
Part of this reimagined collections, this is the 18 Year Old Double Cask released in 2025.

The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then, Macallan has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.
The Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was “Maghellan”, taken from the Gaelic word “magh”, meaning fertile ground and “Ellan”, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.
