The Double Cask 30 Years Old is a testament to The Macallan’s devotion to the art of whisky distillery.

Exhibiting a natural golden acorn hue, the Double Cask 30 YO offers a unique combination of fresh honeycomb, sweet toffee, and red apple aroma, while delivering a rich and smooth melody of cinnamon, ginger, and Madagascan vanilla on the palate. As guests sipped the single malt whisky, they were enveloped in the lush forests of Europe and America where these fruits were harvested.

“The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old is a truly exceptional whisky that is sure to delight even the most discerning palate,” said the Brand Manager of Edrington Portfolio in Nigeria, Hammed Adebiyi. “The expert blending of the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks from Europe and America has created a whisky with a complex and balanced flavour profile that is simply unmatched. We are delighted to launch this exceptional whisky in Nigeria, and we are confident that it will become an instant favourite among all whisky lovers in the country.”

The Macallan distinguishes its Double Cask range with extraordinary oak casks. These casks are the primary influencers in the quality, natural hue, and distinctive aromas and flavours that define the brand’s premium single malt whiskies.
