THE MACALLAN Rare Cask Black 700ml

Limited Edition – Travel Retail Exclusive

Launched in September 2015, The Macallan Rare Cask Black which joins the Macallan 1824 Masters Series, is intriguingly described by the distillery as being a dark, smoky and an unexpected Macallan. The Macallan are not known for producing smoky whiskies and the reason this whisky is smoky is that it has been crafted predominately using First Fill sherry seasoned oak casks which contained extremely rare Macallan peated whisky of which there are less than 100 casks maturing at The Macallan distillery.

The man behind the new travel retail Rare Cask Black is Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno who commented: “Rare Cask Black tells a different story about our spirit and casks, but more than that it tells a story of rarity. Smoky Macallan is rare, there is very little in existence and once these 100 casks have been used there will be no more”.

This is a whisky which is out of character for The Macallan due to the subtle seam of smoke on the palate, but it still bears the essential Macallan DNA.

It is packaged in a strong box of a similar design presentation to the ‘normal’ Macallan Rare Cask bottling which was issued earlier in 2015.
