Macallan Exceptional Single Cask 2018/ESH-3917/10

The Macallan Exceptional Single Cask line represents some of the highest quality, most spectacular casks on the Macallan estate. These are the casks that are pulled aside by the Master Blenders because they are too exceptional to be mixed in with the other, still excellent, Macallan casks. Something special has happened in these, through the alchemy of wood, spirit, and location in the warehouse. Each cask is totally unique, and the flavors experienced will never be created again. This particular cask only yielded 237 bottles. Aged for 25 years in sherry hogsheads, this single malt exhibits the nuanced raisin notes that only a mature whiskey can show. Toffee and citrus notes marry beautifully on the palate and the finish is long, smooth, and satisfyingly robust.
