"Earthy nose with mineral, salt, dried banana, granola, lemon zest, smoke. On the palate, notes of grapefruit syrup, orange pith, pomelo, white marshmallow. It finishes with cocoa powder, glazed cherries and salted pretzels, hint of smoke." —producer

"Part of our limited core range, our Kilkerran 8 year old cask strength is released annually, either as a one or two part release. Previous releases have included full maturations in Bourbon, Port and Sherry, with the latest releases fully matured in Bourbon." —producer

"This whisky is inspired by JING's Phoenix Honey Orchid, a complex tea with lush dessert wine aromas and exotic fruit notes. Predominantly matured in sherry seasoned American oak casks, the whisky has drawn fruity and floral flavours, beautifully balanced by the inclusion of sherry seasoned European oak, which offers a pleasing roasted richness and a touch of astringency. The subtle inclusion of casks that previously held bourbon adds a final sweetness, emulating the dessert wine aromas found in this tea that inspires this single malt." —producer

"Sweet vanilla with pear and fresh ginger notes. After 18 years of patient pursuit, 18 years of absorbing and evolving, our crisp and fruity spirit is enriched. The unexpected begins to emerge. What had been simple, becomes more subtle. Deeper dimensions unfurl and linger. A richly rounded flavour blooms. Elemental elegance with effortless complexity." —producer

"A truly exceptional single malt, the result of whisky-making craft and knowledge passed down through the generations. We marry our 18 year old in small batches of no more than 150 casks. Every batch is individually numbered and carefully watched over. Each has extraordinary consistency and character from an intense marrying period, and a warming, distinguished finish." —producer

"The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old is a balanced single malt whisky created by bringing the perfect harmony of two oaks into one exceptional single malt whisky. Sherry seasoned American oak adds delicate notes of vanilla to the subtle spice of European oak, delivering a whisky with a sweeter, warmer taste and character. Two distinct oaks create the perfect harmony within one exceptional single malt whisky. The Macallan Double Cask whiskies are aged in two types of oak, in specially selected hand-crafted casks seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry. American oak imparts delicate flavours of vanilla, citrus and butterscotch. European oak delivers the unmistakable subtle spice of The Macallan. Once mature for a minimum of 15 years, these two exceptional whiskies unite to create a distinctive single malt with a sweeter, warmer taste and character. Enjoy it neat, over ice or in a serve." —producer

"The high ratio of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks selected to create our 18 Year Old give it a unique flavour profile of bursting overripe cherries, bitter dark chocolate, sweet marzipan, floral heather honey, and aromatic peat smoke." —producer

"Over the course of 18 years our Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, takes this expression through a combination of cask types, including both first and second-fill American oak (for tropical fruitiness) and ex-sherry oak (for spicy complexity). The result of this deft navigation of the distilling arts is a gorgeous single malt that is complex, yet elegant and balanced. The 18 Year Old has won more awards than any other expression; every bottle is a true example of the quality and taste of The Glenlivet. Any bottle deserves pride of place in your cabinet… perhaps to be held back for a fitting occasion? It is, after all, crafted to impress." —producer
