The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2026 Release

The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask, from the 2026 release, is a rare and exquisite whisky.

The Macallan 18 Year Old is crafted from a meticulous combination of American and Spanish oak casks, each seasoned with sherry. This results in a brighter, more polished expression of the iconic Speyside house style.

Eighteen years of maturation in Speyside’s cool, steady climate allows the whisky to develop remarkable depth and composure. The result is a luxuriously rounded, beautifully mouth-coating whisky with layers of chocolate orange, toffee apple, and sticky dried fruits, all underpinned by gentle oak spice.

More than two centuries since its founding, The Macallan remains a benchmark for sherried single malt. Each annual release of the 18 Year Old is highly anticipated, securing its position as a cornerstone dram for discerning drinkers and serious collectors alike.
