The Macallan Rare Cask Single Malt 2023 Release
The Macallan Rare Cask 2023 is a smooth sweet single malt with a smooth, velvety smoothness. Aromas of vanilla, raisins, crunchy apples, lemon, and orange fill the nose, and are accompanied on the palate by flavors of dark chocolate, citrus zesty, sweet raisins, vanilla, and oak.
RARE CASK AND CHARLIE BURCHILL
The Macallan Rare Cask, 2023 Release features a collaboration with Simple Minds’ Charlie Burchill. Exploring the nuances of the sensory world, we discovered stunning connections between sound, scent, flavor, and color, all linked through the shared element of wood.
Charlie’s exceptional ability to recognize unusual flavor notes, such as raisin, complements his abilities to compose and perform music flawlessly. Music and the skill of making excellent single malts share a same language in which each note and flavor blend in perfect harmony, complimenting one another in an extraordinary way.
We find the core synergy of a great creation, as well as how interactions with a piece of art in both the domains of music and the craft of whisky making aren’t that unlike.
