Toasts in India are about to get richer as The Macallan unveils its Rare Cask 2023 Release, just in time for the festive season in India. It is the party season, and The Macallan has not only mastered perfect timing but also launched an exceptional single malt whisky crafted from the finest and rarest sherry-seasoned oak casks, that delivers the Macallan’s full-bodied character. Christened Rare Cask to commemorate special moments in life, this whisky showcases the rarest sherry-seasoned oak casks, resulting in a deep ruby mahogany natural color and displaying an intense sweet raisin note.
Is there anything more soothing than a velvety smooth mouthfeel and a highly sensory whisky experience? In the case of Rare Cask, this feeling is heightened by an essence of vanilla, enriched with rich raisin and an unmissable sweet fusion of fresh apple, lemon, and orange. This experience is achieved through a collaboration with renowned musician Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds, a talent who comprehends the intricacies of the sensory world and seamlessly combines sound, aroma, flavor, and color on the canvas of wood.
Kirsteen Campbell, Master Whisky Maker at The Macallan, said: “Every oak cask of single malt whisky maturing at The Macallan Estate has its own characteristics, with subtle nuances that make it unique.” She continued, “Occasionally, the whisky is more distinct, and from time to time, The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team discovers casks that stand out in a very particular way.”
The Macallan Rare Cask 2023 Release is housed in a complementary box that emulates the deep reds of the single malt and pays tribute to the whisky’s incredible cask story. A front-opening design reveals the decanter within and comes encased in a premium gift box featuring a gold badge highlighting the Rare Cask name. The exceptional Rare Cask 2023 is available in India for INR 40,000.
