SEEKING THE EXCEPTIONAL

Every cask of exceptional single malt whisky maturing at The Macallan Estate has its own personality, with little nuances which make them unique. ​

From time to time our whisky makers come across casks maturing in warehouses which stand out from the others in a very particular way. ​

These hand-selected casks are a rare and special discovery.

Rare Cask is created from oak casks which exhibit incredibly rich, smooth complexity, highlighted through a sweet raisin note. These rare casks of The Macallan have an entirely natural deep ruby mahogany colour, and an intense and highly complex flavour profile.

RARE CASK AND CHARLIE BURCHILL

Discovering the parallels between sound, aroma, flavour and colour explored through the shared element of wood, for this release we came together with renowned musician, Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds, to explore a sensorial world. 

Charlie’s ability to identify rare tasting notes such as raisin, is similar to how he both composes and plays music. He explores how Rare Cask might sound through working with a Luthier in the South of Spain to create a guitar crafted from the same European Oak wood as The Macallan Casks are crafted from. 

Together, we discover the core synergies of a great creation, and how interactions with a work of art in both realms of music and the craft of whisky making aren’t so distant from one another.

MEET CHARLIE BURCHILL

Charlie is a composer and multi-instrumentalist, occasionally swapping guitar for keyboards, saxophone and even violin. Now known as one of the most distinctive guitarists in the business, he has been involved in the creation of the amazing sound of Simple Minds for over 40 years.


Charlie Burchill and Jim Kerr were childhood friends who performed together in early school bands, a short-lived punk outfit and then Simple Minds, which they formed in 1977. Their friendship is one relationship that has gone the distance, being as strong today as it was back then.
