The Macallan Rare Cask Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

The Macallan Rare Cask is a luxurious and highly sought-after single malt Scotch whisky, known for its exceptional complexity, richness, and the rare oak casks used in its maturation. This expression is crafted from a carefully selected blend of sherry-seasoned oak casks, some of which are extremely rare and never used before in Macallan's other expressions.
