From Lagos To Abuja: The Macallan Double Cask 30 YO Whisky Takes Centre Stage

The Macallan’s legacy of crafting exceptional single-malt whiskies and providing whisky connoisseurs with luxurious experiences was once again showcased in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, this Friday.

The momentous occasion was the unveiling of the renowned brand’s highly-coveted Double Cask 30 Years Old.

An exclusive class of whisky enthusiasts gathered at the prestigious Tar Tar in Abuja for a rare tasting experience of the oldest whisky in the Double Cask range.

The high-end event comes a week after The Macallan launched its Sherry Oak 25 and 30 Years Old in Lagos.

The Double Cask 30 YO, an ultra-premium single malt matured for three decades in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, exemplifies The Macallan’s dedication to excellent whisky distillery. Its unique maturation process inspires its rich, complex flavour profile and notes of ginger and vanilla. On the palate, it offers a smooth melody of cinnamon, ginger, Madagascan vanilla, dried fruits and oak.
