As if unearthing a treasure trove of gold buried in an aged chest made of American and European oak, the perfectly balanced hues of Macallan Double Cask Gold single malt scotch will reward all who find this burnished gold whiskey gracing their glass. The aroma begins with a surprising pop of bright lemon citrus rinds and orange peels soaked in soft notes of vanilla essence. Dark chocolate melted into hints of blossoming flowers soon follow along with just a touch of lightly hewn oak. The palate unmasks more layers of sun-kissed citrus squeezed over boiled sweets, heated bites of spicy ginger, and shavings of cinnamon wrapped in toasted apple peels.
