The art of whisky making
When it comes to sourcing the finest ingredients, Macallan leaves no stone unturned. We believe that the quality of the barley used in the whisky-making process is of utmost importance. That’s why we work closely with local farmers to ensure that only the best barley is selected for our whiskies. The barley is then malted and milled, ready to be transformed into the liquid gold that is whisky.
Once the barley has been malted, it is mashed and mixed with hot water to extract the sugars. This mixture, known as the mash, is then fermented using yeast. The fermentation process is crucial as it converts the sugars into alcohol, creating what is known as the “wash”. The wash is then distilled in our copper pot stills, which have been carefully designed to capture the unique flavors and aromas of the spirit.
After distillation, the spirit is transferred to oak casks for maturation. At Macallan, we believe that the choice of cask is just as important as the whisky itself. That’s why we only use the finest oak casks, sourced from the best cooperages around the world. These casks have been seasoned with sherry, adding depth and complexity to the whisky as it matures.
Maturation is a slow and patient process, and at Macallan, we believe that time is the key to creating exceptional whisky. The Rare Cask 2023 Release has been matured for a minimum of 23 years, allowing the flavors and aromas to develop and evolve over time. The oak casks impart notes of vanilla, spice, and dried fruits, creating a whisky that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Once the whisky has reached its desired maturity, it is carefully hand-selected by our master distillers. They have an expert eye for detail and are able to identify the casks that have reached their peak, ready to be bottled and enjoyed by whisky enthusiasts around the world.
