Macallan 15 Year Old Triple Cask 

 

It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills.

Triple Cask matured is a mixture of European and American oak casks that have previously contained sherry, as well as American oak casks which have contained bourbon. The range was introduced in 2004 as the Fine Oak, but was rebranded as the Triple Cask in 2018 in order to streamline it with the distillery's Sherry Oak Cask and Double Cask lines of the core range.
