Macallan Gold Double Cask
The Gold Double Cask was only available for two short years (2018-2020)nbefore this particular styling was discontinued. In 2018, Macallan completely scrapped the 1824 Series to pave the way for their brand-new, modernized core ranges. Specifically, they introduced the Double Cask, Triple Cask Matured, and Sherry Oak expressions to replace the old lineup. However, the distillery still possessed a massive existing inventory of the original non-age-statement Macallan Gold liquid. Consequently, they repackaged this remaining liquid into a temporary, transitional bottle style to bridge the commercial gap.
Despite the label stating that this is a Highland malt, it is widely accepted that it is actually a Speyside malt with all the characteristics that go with it.
