Macallan Rare Cask - 2020 Release

This expression is part of the Rare Cask series from Macallan that originally came into existence in 2014 as a premium addition to the 1824 range. As of 2020, Macallan decided to abandon the concept of releasing multiple numbered batches within a year and has shifted to a single annual release policy. This makes the 2020 release a significant transition point for this series.

The Macallan Rare Cask 2020 Release is bottled at a strength of 43% abv, and it comes in a standard 700ml volume. The bottling is presented in a distinctive, bespoke glass decanter, further adding to its allure for collectors.

Unique to this expression is its method of maturation. The 2020 Rare Cask has been matured exclusively in hand-selected European sherry seasoned oak butts, imparting a deep, ruby mahogany colour to the whisky. It's also worth noting that each limited release batch of this whisky represents the volume of only 50 sherry seasoned oak butts, adding a layer of rarity to this already exclusive expression.

As an annual release from Macallan, the 2020 Rare Cask is sought after by whisky collectors and investors alike. Its unique cask selection process and shift in release policy make it a standout addition to any whisky collection.
