In the world of Macallan, “Rare Cask” is more than a name, it’s a promise. The 2021 Release is drawn from the finest handpicked sherry-seasoned oak casks in the distillery’s vast stocks, many of which will never be used again. Rich, complex, and deeply indulgent, it captures the pinnacle of Speyside craftsmanship in a single bottle.
