Macallan Rare Cask 2022 Release - 43% 70cl

Macallan Rare Cask 2022 Release is an official bottling which was produced in the Speyside region of Scotland.

The Rare Cask was introduced in 2014 as a permanent addition to the 1824 Master Series, a premium tier of the regular 1824 core range which was marketed between 2012 and 2018.

When the the 1824 series was discontinued in 2018, the Rare Cask was retained as part of the portfolio, becoming an annual small batch release. Between 2018 and 2019 it became a thrice-annual small batch release, before switching to a single annual batch release in 2020.

This is the 2022 release which is made up of a combination of different American and ex-Sherry European oak casks, a high proportion of which were first-fill.

Collectively these factors have given rise to an exquisite whisky with a splendidly rich and resonant hue, and an unmistakably woody whisky.

Macallan worked with acclaimed violinist Nicola Benedetti on the Rare Cask 2022 Release.
