Scotland - "To create Double Cask, new oak from America is brought to Spain where oak casks are crafted and sherry seasoned and then brought to Speyside to mature for 12 years. These whiskies are united with those aged in sherry seasoned European casks. The delicate flavor of American oak, vanilla and citrus rise in prominence as the traditional Macallan character of rich fruit, sherry and wood spice affords a familiar back drop."
