The Macallan Exceptional Cask 2018 ASH-14813/12 | 54.1% | 70cl | 187 Bottles | Single Cask Speyside Single Malt
An extraordinarily rare single cask Macallan from one of the most coveted series in Scotch whisky. Distilled in October 1997 and drawn from a single American oak refill sherry hogshead — cask ASH-14813/12 — this expression was bottled in 2018 after over 20 years of patient maturation in Speyside. Only 187 bottles were produced. Part of The Macallan's acclaimed Exceptional Cask series, each release in this range represents a hand-selected individual cask of extraordinary quality, presented at natural cask strength with no dilution. At 54.1% ABV, this is Macallan in its most pure and unadulterated form.

About The Macallan Exceptional Cask Series
The Macallan Exceptional Cask series represents the very pinnacle of single cask selection at the Speyside distillery. Each release is chosen by The Macallan's whisky maker from thousands of casks maturing in the Easter Elchies estate warehouses, selected only when they meet the most exacting standards of quality and character. The result is a series of strictly limited, individually numbered bottles, each one a unique and unrepeatable expression of a single cask's journey from distillation to bottle. Cask ASH-14813/12, with just 187 bottles to its name, is among the rarest in the range.
