No vintage, no excuses - just pure, unfiltered smoke from one of Campbeltown's most distinctive styles. Longrow Peated is the distillery's straightforward expression, without any extra frills.

Expert Description

Longrow Peated is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Springbank, bottled without an age statement at 46%.

The name Longrow is taken from a distillery that once stood on the peninsula but closed over a hundred years ago. As a no-age-statement release, this bottle represents the Longrow style in its most accessible form, with plenty of bold peat smoke and a hint of medicinal character that ties it to its older siblings in the range.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bold peat smoke meets a light medicinal note, with a hint of salinity and citrus in the background.

Palate

Well-balanced smoke with a soft sweetness beneath the surface that keeps the medicinal notes in check.

Finish

Dry and smoky, with a lingering warmth that fades into a lightly salty close.

No other whisky has made the sherry cask a world-famous synonym for quality the way Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak has. It is not just an expression — it is a reference point. The bottle against which most others are measured.

Expert description

Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks and bottled at 40%. Macallan was one of the first distilleries to systematically use 100% sherry casks for maturation, and the 12 Year Old Sherry Oak is the core expression of that tradition. The oak casks are produced in Spain, seasoned with Oloroso sherry before being sent to Macallan, and give the whisky its characteristic dried fruit, warm spices and silky smooth structure.

12 years is the classic age, and this is where Macallan's DNA is most clearly expressed. Not too young to have edges, not too old to have freshness.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dried fruit and candied citrus peel with oak, ginger and nutmeg. Raisins, sultanas and orange notes with festive spices like cinnamon and clove.

Palate

Raisins and sultanas with ginger syrup and sweet cinnamon. Sherry, plums and powdered sugar sweetness with a silky mouthfeel.

Finish

Long with oak and warming ginger. Dried fruit and mandarin linger.

Macallan has produced Sherry Oak as its core style since 1824 and helped make the concept of "sherry-matured whisky" internationally recognised. The distillery owns its own woodland in Spain, where it grows the oak trees later used for sherry casks.

Listen to our podcast:

Macallan took the two great oak traditions — European and American — and set them to work together. Double Cask is the result: a whisky that doesn't have to choose sides, but benefits from both.

Expert description

Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and bottled at 40%. While the classic Sherry Oak uses only European oak, Double Cask introduces American oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry. American oak provides a softer, sweeter profile with more vanilla and coconut, and the result is a lighter, more accessible Macallan than its Sherry Oak sibling.

Double Cask is a good entry point into the Macallan range and a great everyday dram. It does not eclipse its older Sherry Oak sibling, but it is more approachable and has broader appeal.

Tasting notes

Nose

Toffee, banana and fudge with soft sherry. Dark fruit, red berries and mild chocolate with baking spices like cardamom and vanilla.

Palate

Marshmallow and anise with ginger and citrus. Medium-thin mouthfeel with light dryness, fig notes and maltiness.

Finish

Plums and oaky sherry with smooth, fruity caramel. Long and soothing with vanilla and light black pepper.

American oak is far more commonly used for bourbon than for Scotch whisky — Macallan was one of the first distilleries to introduce American sherry casks into Speyside distillation as a systematic part of their production.

Eighteen years in two types of oak. Macallan's Double Cask philosophy is straightforward: let American and European oak work together to shape the final whisky. Then give it enough time for the two systems to find each other.

Expert's Description

Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2023 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for 18 years in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, bottled at 43%. The two cask types complement each other: American sherry oak lends citrus, vanilla and butterscotch, while European sherry oak provides gentle spice and depth. The 2023 release is the current vintage of one of Macallan's most classic age-stated expressions.

For many collectors, Macallan 18 Year Old is a benchmark — not because it surprises, but because it consistently delivers on its promise. That's no small thing.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried fruit and ginger with toffee and rich orange. Hints of clove and nutmeg.

Palate

Rich raisins and sultanas with caramel, vanilla and ginger. Balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus.

Finish

Warm oak spice with ginger that softens into sweet orange. Long and well-integrated.

Investment Potential

Medium — Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask in its vintage-limited 2023 release is attracting growing interest on the secondary market as retailer stocks are depleted. The Macallan 18 Year Old series is generally sought-after given the distillery's reputation and the documented complexity that age brings.

Did you know?

Macallan uses exclusively small copper pot stills — among the smallest in Scotland. They are designed to maximise contact between vapours and the copper surface, contributing to the distillery's characteristically fruity and soft house style.

Eighteen years is not just a number. It is the point where European and American sherry oak have stopped competing and started speaking the same language. Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2024 is the result of that conversation.

Expert description

Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2024 Release is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and bottled at 43%. It combines the depth of European sherry oak — dried fruit, warm spice, dark chocolate — with the fruity and creamy contribution of American oak. The 2024 release is the latest annual release in the 18 Year Old Double Cask line, and with 18 years in cask the complexity and integration of the two cask types reaches its peak in the series.

The bottle works as a gift, as an occasion in itself and as the dram you open when you decide to take your time.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich and sweet with orange marmalade, prunes and dried dates. Dark chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg with a hint of tobacco from European oak.

Palate

Full and complex — caramelised fruits, fig and a deep sherry sweetness. Warm spice with ginger and black pepper, and a beautiful richness from American oak.

Finish

Long and warm with dark wood, vanilla fudge and a lingering orange bitterness. The aftertaste carries for a long time.

Medium — Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask is an annual release from one of the world's most respected distilleries. The market for Macallan 18-year-old expressions is stable, and the 2024 release is a natural collector's stop for those following the series.

Did you know?

The Double Cask series was Macallan's answer to whisky drinkers who found the Triple Cask series too complex. By reducing to two cask types — both sherry seasoned but from two different oak species — Macallan created a series that is easier to understand but still has plenty to discover.

Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez de la Frontera is the third release in the Macallan A Night on Earth series.

This limited edition whisky celebrates the end of the year – a time for togetherness, reflection, and looking forward to the future. Inspired by the New Year traditions of Jerez de la Frontera, where Macallan’s sherry-seasoned casks originate, this edition highlights the region’s culture and the whisky as a festive companion.

Crafted by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team, the whisky is matured in a carefully balanced combination of European and American oak casks seasoned with sherry. This maturation imparts a complex and nuanced profile.

The color is described as burnt orange. The nose reveals notes of honey-drenched pestiños, sweet raisins, cinnamon, anise, rich oak, and fresh citrus. The palate features sweet pastry, white grapes, honey-glazed almonds, vanilla, balanced spices, and a hint of fresh rosemary. The finish is sweet, vibrant, and warming.

The packaging, designed by local artist María Melero, captures the essence of Jerez with colorful azulejo tiles and symbols representing the region’s culture and Macallan’s heritage. This whisky is perfect for New Year celebrations and makes an excellent gift for collectors and enthusiasts.

Every year, Macallan selects the casks that have left the strongest mark on their new make. Classic Cut is where the distillery shows its hand — no dilution to comfortable strength, no smoothed-off edges. The 2025 edition is bottled exactly where the casks' character speaks loudest.

Expert's Description

Macallan Classic Cut 2025 Limited Edition is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks alongside ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 50.6%. The Classic Cut series is Macallan's annual showcase for intensely matured single malt — non-chill filtered, natural colour, bottled at a strength that gives the aromas room to fully unfold. The European sherry casks contribute depth and complex fruit, the American sherry casks add citrus and softness, while the ex-bourbon casks bring an additional layer of complexity to the 2025 expression.

Macallan is one of those distilleries that rarely wavers about what it wants to say. That's reflected in Classic Cut: a bottle that makes a clear statement, rather than simply tasting pleasant.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Orange oil and barley sugar with velvety milk chocolate. Caramel wafer, creamy vanilla panna cotta and freshly baked apple turnovers.

Palate

Icing sugar sweetness with fresh grapefruit and mandarin. Lemon zest meringue and caramelised almonds.

More grapefruit and melon with a touch of warming oak spice that lingers.

Macallan's new distillery, which opened in 2018 on Speyside, is partly built into the hillside — an architectural decision that protects the distillery's microclimate and gives the complex a remarkable presence in the Scottish landscape.

Listen to our podcast:

In 2018, Macallan launched a series that would challenge everything the distillery had done before. Concept Number 1 is the first bottle — inspired by surrealist art and designed to break with received notions of what Macallan whisky can and should taste like.

Expert description

Macallan Concept Number 1 is a discontinued Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from 2018, matured equally in sherry seasoned oak casks and ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 40%. The Concept series was Macallan's response to contemporary art's urge to challenge and provoke — the whisky is made to deviate, not to confirm. The maturation time is split equally between the two cask types, and the result is an expression that is lighter and more citrus-oriented than the classic Macallan expressions dominated by sherry casks.

As the first in the series and as a discontinued expression, Concept Number 1 attracts attention from collectors. It was not produced in unlimited quantities, and access to bottles continues to decrease.

Tasting notes

Nose

Butterscotch toffee with almonds and ginger. Cinnamon and dried fruit, citrus and green banana in the background.

Palate

Fresh orange and lemon citrus with soft oak spices and ginger. Lively fruit presence with good drive.

Finish

Medium length with a touch of sweetness and dryness. Oak, citrus fruit and ginger linger.

Edition No 6 was the last in Macallan's Edition series — and it signed off with one of the heaviest sherry cask compositions in the range. 74% sherry butt casks and 48.6% — not a rounding off, but a definitive statement.

Expert description

Macallan Edition No 6 is a discontinued Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from 2020, matured in 26% sherry seasoned hogsheads and 74% sherry seasoned butts and bottled at 48.6%. The Edition series was Macallan's annual limited edition range, combining the distillery's whisky with creative collaborations. Edition No 6 was created in collaboration with Master of Wood Stuart MacPherson and focused on the role of wood itself in whisky. The cask composition is heavy and sherry-dominated — and that is clear in the glass.

As the closing release in a well-known series, No 6 is particularly sought after by collectors. It is discontinued and no longer in production. Availability continues to fall.

Tasting notes

Espresso and sherry oak. It sounds strange until you have it in the glass and realise the two things never should have met in a more logical way. Macallan Harmony Intense Arabica is coffee and whisky, and it works.

Expert description

Macallan Harmony Collection Intense Arabica is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry casks, including casks previously used to season Arabica coffee beans, and bottled at 44%. It is part of Macallan's Harmony Collection, which explores the interplay between whisky and natural ingredients. Intense Arabica is inspired by the intense espresso experience and uses coffee casks as an additional layer of flavour complexity — the seasoned coffee casks contribute dark coffee and chocolate notes without overwhelming the whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich espresso and dark chocolate with roasted coffee and sherry sweetness. Dates and dried fruit with vanilla and orange zest in the background.

Palate

Intense and full — coffee, dark chocolate and raisin. The sherry carries the fruitiness while the coffee note offers a fresh bitterness that balances the sweetness.

As a NAS whisky, Quest is designed for consistency rather than vintage depth. It is a whisky that works without demanding anything of the drinker.

Mahogany in the glass. Warm spices in the air. Macallan Sienna carries its colour with pride — not a choice, but a promise of what sherry oak can do when given time to leave its mark.

Expert description

Macallan Sienna 1824 Series is a discontinued Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured exclusively in Spanish sherry casks — European and American oak — and bottled at 43%. It was part of Macallan's 1824 Collection, which used colour as a guide to intensity: Gold, Amber, Sienna and Ruby. Sienna was the third most intense expression in the series, and its deep terracotta hue reflects a long and richly sherried life in cask.

The collection has been discontinued, making Sienna a sought-after bottle for collectors and Macallan enthusiasts. The powerful sherry-driven flavour notes are undeniable.

Tasting notes

Dried fruit and orange marmalade with prunes, dates and dark chocolate. Rich sherry with cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of smoke.

Did you know?

The 1824 Series used the colour of the whisky as a sort of menu for intensity — no age statement, just colour as the guide. Sienna represented the second deepest shade in the series, and the colour came entirely from sherry cask maturation, not from colouring.

A British tea company from China meets a Scottish distillery from Speyside. Macallan and Jing Tea set out to find what Phoenix Honey Orchid Oolong and the complexity of sherry casks have in common — and found more than either perhaps expected.

Expert description

Macallan Harmony Collection Jing is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43.9%, created in collaboration with Jing Tea. The whisky is inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea — an oolong tea from the mountain range of the same name in China's Guangdong province. Harmony Collection Jing is the fifth release in the series and combines Macallan's cask maturation with the world of tea sensory.

The result is a whisky with an unexpected floral-fruit complexity — something between the classic depth of sherry and the light, floral character of tea. A whisky that is fun to taste and even more fun to discuss.

Tasting notes

Nose

Summery peach and apricot with the heady sweetness of floral honey. Tropical fruits, toffee and sweet oak. Red currants and raspberries, followed by dried dates and light orange peel.

Palate

Fresh peaches in rich syrup with warm citrus and toffee. Light floral notes leading to a delicate leafy astringency. Ginger and clove with milk tea warmth, soft vanilla and polished oak.

Expert Review

Macbeth First Witch 19 Year Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Ardbeg, matured in Pedro Ximenez casks and bottled at 51.7%.

First Witch is the opening bottle in the Witches series, part of Livingstone's wider Macbeth Collection, where every release is named after a character from Shakespeare's tragedy and illustrated by British artist Quentin Blake.

Long, dry and smoky, with a final wave of spiced sherry and ash from an old bonfire.

Morgondagg means morning dew in Swedish, and that is exactly the feeling Mackmyra's master blender Angela D'Orazio chased: the fresh, clear mood of a Swedish forest just before sunrise.

In 2004, Mackmyra sold a small cask of raw, unpeated spirit to one of the men behind Whisky.dk. The cask took his name, and almost five years later it became 54 bottles of Swedish whisky that have never been recreated since.

The Expert's Description

Mackmyra Reserve Bertelsen Cask No.1 is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a 30-litre Swedish oak cask and bottled at 48.3%.

The story begins in 2004, when Mackmyra sold a small 30-litre cask of Swedish oak filled with unpeated new-make spirit to one of Whisky.dk's owners. The cask took the name Bertelsen Cask No.1 after the buyer, while another Whisky.dk co-owner received his own cask at the same time, since known as Olsen's Barrel.

After nearly five years of maturation in the small cask, the whisky arrived in Denmark as 54 bottles with a deep colour and a surprisingly full flavour for such a young cask. It was distilled on 8 November 2004 and bottled on 6 April 2009.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Clear oak character with vanilla and a touch of honey, supported by a light nutty sweetness.

Palate

Full-bodied and warm with notes of caramel and toasted oak, where the small cask's intense maturation is clearly felt.

Finish

Medium length with a dry, woody close and a last trace of sweetness.

High. With only 54 bottles from a single small cask, and a story tied directly to Whisky.dk's own past, this is one of the rarest Swedish whiskies ever to have reached shelves in Denmark.

Did You Know?

Bertelsen Cask No.1 is named after one of Whisky.dk's owners, who personally bought the cask directly from Mackmyra in 2004. It is one of very few bottles in the world to carry the name of a Danish whisky retailer.

Skördetid, harvest time in Swedish, draws its sweetness from an unusual source: Italian Amarone casks that have given this Mackmyra release a fullness of red grapes and raisins rarely found in Nordic whisky.

The Expert's Description

Mackmyra Skördetid is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky partly matured in Italian Masi Costasera Amarone casks and bottled at 46.1%.

The whisky is assembled from several cask types: primarily first-fill Masi Costasera Amarone casks, first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, supplemented by smaller amounts of American oak previously filled with Pedro Ximénez sherry, as well as Mackmyra's own 30-litre Reserve casks. The result is a whisky with rich colour and clear fruitiness from the red wine casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweet, rich tones of red grapes and raisins, crossed with soft herbal spice.

Palate

Full-bodied and fruity with clear Amarone character, where sweetness and spice go hand in hand with Mackmyra's clean, malty base.

Finish

Long and warm with a final tone of dried red-wine fruit.

Ten years is a milestone for a distillery that was still young when this bottle was filled. Mackmyra 10 Years Old was the first of its kind from the Swedish distillery, and it set the standard for what Swedish whisky could be.

The Expert's Description

Mackmyra 10 Years Old is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in Swedish oak and bottled at 46.1%.

The whisky was crafted by master blender Angela D'Orazio and marked a milestone as Mackmyra's first 10-year-old release. Maturation uses Swedish oak that has grown for over a hundred years under harsh Swedish conditions, and for the smoky character the distillery uses peat from the nearby Karinmossen bog together with fresh juniper twigs, giving the whisky a distinct Nordic signature.

A total of 20,000 bottles were produced of this first 10-year-old release from the Swedish distillery.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Swedish oak and a touch of juniper smoke meet a soft, malty sweetness.

Palate

Round and balanced with tones of peat, honey and spiced oak, showing the distillery's signature style clearly.
