Crafted to showcase complexity and depth, Rare Cask is drawn from the broadest spectrum of casks used in maturation on The Macallan Estate. Hand-picked by our whisky making team, the combination of sherry seasoned American and European oak casks - a high proportion of them first fill - deliver an exquisite and unmistakably woody whisky with a rich hue. Incomparable access to the most extensive range of cooperages in Spain gives us some of the finest and scarcest casks to choose from to create Rare Cask, which results in a diversity in the finished whisky unlike other Macallan expression. It is the role of the whisky making team to get to know each and every cask in detail, from how it interacts with the spirit to the spectrum of colours it imparts. This relationship between cask and craftsman, spirit and skill, ultimately give us Rare Cask.

The first decade of 20th century America saw Chivas 25 burst onto the scene. Alongside the flittering milieu of grand parties and theatrical attractions of Broadway, this luxury whisky took pride of place among the high society of New York. But Prohibition followed in 1920, cutting our 25-year-old Scotch whisky's reign short. In 2007, we reignited this remarkable blend to recreate the iconic tastes and textures that lay within the original luxury whisky. The pinnacle of blended Scotch whisky was reborn and remains a legend today.
