A Singular Cask from 2018

The Macallan Cask 8 2018 is a rare, unblended expression from The Macallan’s Exceptional Single Cask series. Bottled in 2018 from Cask #8, it offers the pure, unfiltered character of a single sherry-seasoned European oak cask. Consequently, it captures a unique moment in Macallan’s cask journey. Moreover, with only around 310 bottles produced, it stands as a true collector’s artifact. Above all, it’s a testament to the distillery’s cask mastery.

Pure, Uncompromised Whisky

This whisky was drawn straight from the cask at natural strength—58.1% ABV—with no chill filtration or dilution. In fact, this 2018 bottling showcases the raw intensity and complexity that only a single cask can deliver. As a result, it offers a powerful, textured profile that evolves beautifully with air and a drop of water.

Rich, Spicy, and Deeply Layered

The nose reveals raisin, fig, and orange marmalade, followed by cinnamon, clove, and dark chocolate. Then, leather and tobacco emerge with air. On the palate, flavors of plum, toffee, and antique oak unfold with weight. Subtle notes of espresso, roasted almond, and beeswax add depth. Finally, the finish is long and warming—dried fruit, cocoa, and a whisper of smoke. Altogether, it embodies the soul of this Macallan Cask 8 2018.

A One-of-a-Kind Collector’s Bottle

As a single cask release, the Macallan Cask 8 2018 is inherently non-repeatable. Therefore, it holds strong value for collectors who seek authenticity, rarity, and provenance. Its minimalist label—featuring the cask number and bottling year—makes it a prized addition to any serious Macallan collection.
