Why buy Discontinued Whiskey Macallan Rare Cask Batch No.3 Boxed Bottle

Macallan Rare Cask Batch No. 3 is a diverse and complex Highland single malt that is the result of the two most important and characteristic strengths in the making of all Macallan products: sherry seasoned oak casks and natural colour.

A premium whisky, aged in 16 different European oak casks seasoned with sherry, each individually selected by The Macallan's master distiller Bob Dalgarno, the vast majority of which are first use.

This selection is very rigorous as the whisky naturally takes on 100% of the colour of the wood in which it matures, no colouring is added, so there is no other whisky that can beat Macallan Rare Cask Batch No. 3 for style, rigour, exacting standards and quality.

A little bit of history about Macallan Rare Cask Boxed Bottle...

Did you know that the first name of The Macallan whisky was Maghellan?

Well, so tells the story of the evolution of this world famous whisky; the Gaelic word "magh" meaning fertile land coupled with "Ellan" which was the name of an Irish monk who lived on The Macallan Estate until 1400 and was the man who introduced Christianity to Scotland in the 8th century. Then, over the years, the distillery took the name The Macallan after the place where it was located.

The whiskies produced by the Macallan distillery have always been characterised by their excellent quality thanks to the barley used as the main ingredient, but it was from the 19th century onwards that the master distillers, on seeing that hundreds of empty casks that had contained sherry wines were accumulating in British ports, decided to use them to store their whiskies, Without thinking about it, they discovered that these butts, which had previously contained Sherry, gave their whiskies an unequalled texture, silkiness, aroma, flavour and colour which, added to all the characteristics they already possessed, made them much more exquisite, desirable and incomparable; They became the finest, most sought after and most expensive in the world.
