The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old is part of a collection celebrated for its balance and complexity. The sherry-seasoned casks, sourced from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, offer a deep connection between tradition and innovation, resulting in a whisky that delivers a full, rounded profile.
Erik Madigan Heck's Interpretation: Renowned photographer Erik Madigan Heck captures the opulence of this expression through abstract photography inspired by the rich butterscotch tones and the central apple note, reminiscent of 17th-century Flemish still life paintings.
The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old showcases the seamless integration of two oak types into one refined single malt. The sherry-seasoned American oak imparts delicate vanilla notes, while the European oak adds a subtle layer of warm spice. Together, they create a whisky that is rich, smooth, and balanced—perfectly embodying The Macallan’s renowned character.
