Macallan Single Malt Whisky Rare Cask Release 2020 0.7L 43% History and production of the Macallan Rare Cask: "The Macallan", this name stands all over the world for outstanding single malt whisky of the very highest quality. Above all, the use of sherry casks has given the Macallan distillery its first-class reputation. Much earlier than the competition, Macallan recognized the enormous importance of the choice of cask on the taste of the whisky and therefore only used the best sherry casks for maturation. It was not until 2004 that the Fine Oak series was introduced, partly stored in bourbon casks. The single malt whiskies, which are equally popular with connoisseurs and collectors, are considered the flagship of Speyside. Located on the banks of the River Spey, the distillery was licensed in 1824 and is therefore one of the oldest legal distilleries in Scotland. In addition to storage, blending is another crucial factor in developing the taste. Unless it is a single cask whisky, single malt whiskies are created by mixing different casks. This has the advantage that consistent product quality can be guaranteed over a long period of time, and skilful selection allows you to work out a desired taste and aroma profile. At Macallen, this is the responsibility of Bob Dalgarno, who has been with the company since 1984 and who worked his way up from being a warehouse worker to becoming "Master Whisky Maker". With the Macallan Rare Cask, Dalgarno has now presented a masterpiece. From the huge stock of barrels in Macallan's warehouses, he personally selected a number of sherry casks and mixed them together. The vast majority of these casks were first-fill casks, which impart a particularly large amount of aroma and flavor components to the whisky. The Macallan Rare Cask is sold in a stylishly designed bottle and an elaborately designed box that underlines the exclusive character of the Macallan Rare Cask both visually and haptically. Taste of the Macallan Rare Cask: The Macallan Rare Cask is clearly influenced by the sherry casks used. The nose immediately reveals intense, rich aromas of dried fruit, mainly apricots, figs and raisins, honey and spices. In the background, fine cocoa tones can be detected, surrounded by spicy ginger. In addition, there is a subtle ester fruitiness that harmoniously rounds off the aroma and gives the Macallan Rare Cask enormous depth. On the tongue, the Macallan Rare Cask presents full, intense sherry power. Dried fruit, caramel, butterscotch, honey-sweet malt and nuts are present and harmoniously interwoven. There are also slightly floral notes, which are typical of Speyside malts. Dark chocolate and toffees can be detected in the background. The Macallan Rare Cask has a full, expressive body and a silky mouthfeel. The finish is long and mild, with pleasant honey sweetness, light ginger spiciness and a fine, extremely delicate smoky note. Overall, the Macallan Rare Cask is a truly outstanding single malt whisky for very special moments, which has a unique aroma and taste profile thanks to its complexity and harmony and is guaranteed to leave nothing to be desired.

Single Malt Whisky – the Unique One Among Whiskies!
Why is Single Malt Whisky unique? The name says it all: "Single". This type of whisky is called so because it comes from a single distillery – unlike other whiskies, which are blended from various distillates. As a reliable online spirits shop, we naturally offer a wide selection in our malt whisky shop. We would like to explain what exactly makes malt whisky special. Firstly, it is the grain raw material from which malt whisky is made. This consists exclusively of malted barley. Hence the name "Malt" Whisky, which means "malt" whisky in English. Among spirits, the "water of life" is considered one of the noblest and highest quality – and is a must at any spirits counter.
The high quality is also due to the exceptionally long aging and maturation period, which often exceeds a decade. The age statement refers to the youngest cask used in which the single malt whisky has matured. However, this type of whisky goes through several production steps before you can buy it online. It starts with malting the barley. For this, the barley is soaked in spring water for a few days, then spread out on a surface and turned and dried for up to two weeks. The so-called wort produced through this process is poured into large vessels and fermented by adding yeast. This results in an initial alcohol content of 5%. Then, the consistency is distilled, while the rising vapors of the still unfinished whisky are condensed to an alcohol content of up to 24%. This process is repeated, in short, until the alcohol content rises to 65%-70%. The distillate is then filled into oak barrels and aged for at least three years. During this time, about two percent of the alcohol evaporates each year – only then can the alcohol be called whisky.
In the finishing stage, the flavor is specified by transferring the distillates to other barrels that previously held sherry, rum, or wine after years of aging. Finally, the malt whisky is mixed with water until it reaches an alcohol content of 40% to 46%. This results in four different flavor profiles, which you can also buy online 24 hours a day in our malt whisky shop: smoky, from the smoke used to dry the barley; soft, as the barley was dried without smoke; light, when the whisky has a fruity taste of green grass; and rich, when the aroma has a vanilla influence. But why not see for yourself by ordering your favorite whisky – in our extensive whisky world right here!
Malt Whisky – Single Malt Whisky from the Finest Barley Malt
Malt whisky is made exclusively from barley malt, water, and yeast. It is the most original of all whiskies and the term "water of life" also refers to it. Malt Scotch whisky is divided into two groups. Straight Malt Whisky, which can only contain distillates from one distillery, and Vatted Malt Whisky, which can contain malt whisky from several distilleries. Straight Malt Whisky is further divided into four subcategories. The most famous is Single Malt Whisky, which contains only distillates from a single distillery. The superior version of Single Malt Whisky is Single Single Malt Whisky, for which only a single distillation run of a whisky distillery is used. Additionally, there is Pure Single Malt, which is a distillate from several casks, and Single Cask Malt, which is malt whisky bottled from a single cask and is therefore often strictly limited.
