An intriguing single malt that celebrates the coming together of two styles, Double Cask Gold reflects a perfect harmony of flavours and natural colour. The perfect partnership of American and European Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks creates this burnished gold whisky with a distinctive character, that leads with American oak style before giving way to classic Macallan flavours.
Previously known as The Macallan Gold (part of The 1824 Series), The Macallan Double Cask Gold offers the same unique whisky with a new name, new bottle and bold new packaging.
