Macallan Rare Cask, 2022

A sensorial journey awaits with The Macallan's exceptional single malt whisky maturing at their estate, each cask possessing its own distinctive personality and subtle nuances. Occasionally, their whisky makers encounter casks in the warehouses that truly stand out.

These exceptional casks exhibit a natural, deep ruby mahogany color, an intense note of sweet raisins, and a velvety mouthfeel. In a unique collaboration, renowned violinist Nicola Benedetti has joined forces with The Macallan for the 2022 Rare Cask release. Drawing upon her creative prowess and mastery, she interprets the flavor notes of this special whisky.

Nicola eloquently describes the convergence of elements in a work of art that captivate the senses. She discerns the enticing aromas of spice, raisin, and a hint of nuttiness, likening her sensitivity to scents to the evocative power of music, where a single note or chord can transport the soul.

For Nicola, the scent of oak carries her back to the scenic landscapes of Auchinleck fields and glens near her hometown in Ayrshire, Scotland. It's a feeling that can only be fully appreciated in the heart of Scotland.

Ultimately, Nicola reflects on the profound experience of encountering exceptional creations, acknowledging that it defies complete explanation but is deeply felt in every dimension.
