Firstly, Macallan Rare Cask is comprised of 16 different sherry-cask styles, the majority of which are first fill. Rich and complex with notes of dark honey and dried fruit, this bridges the gap between The 1824 Series and The 1824 Collection.
This baby from 50 sherry butts, that’s what’s really cool with Scotch whisky, even when some casks are ‘rare’ they’ll always find as many as they need to do sequel batches or variants, provided the market responded as they wished. I should add that I really enjoyed an earlier ‘Rare Cask’ they did back in 2015 (WF 87), but thought the Rare Cask Black (the ‘smoky’ one) was rather weird and disappointing, hence rather unnecessary (WF 76).

Colour: amber. Nose: there’s something fresh and young in there, around kirsch and prune spirit, as well as more gunpowder than in earlier sherried Macallans. I’m also finding hints of gummi bears, raspberry drops, then a little ginger and nutmeg that suggests newish oak has been in use. So a rather ‘modern’ nose, although I wouldn’t quite call it a ‘lab whisky’ at this point. Yes, as in lab wine. More traditional Macallany touches after two or three minutes, with a wee meatiness, some pipe tobacco, marmalade, and touches of cedar wood or cigar box. Including its content. The raspberries fight back after ten minutes, I’m not sure they should be there. Macallan Rare Cask Bottled Pre 2018
Mouth: totally parallel. Kirsch, nutmeg, ham, cloves, marmalade, pencil shavings, strawberries, slivovitz, sloe, cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate. Sounds cool, but there’s a bitterness in the background that’s not too pleasant to me.
Finally, Excellent, very chocolaty. Cloves, pepper and nutmeg in the aftertaste, and then more kirsch. Comments: It feel too well-integrated, in fact, not lacking polish and, possibly, time.
