Virtual Whisky-Making Experiences

The Whisky Bench Experience Launches the Double Cask Range

To introduce its new Double Cask Range, The Macallan created the virtual Whisky Bench Experience, which takes fans behind the scenes. Fans are guided through the experience by national brand ambassador Raquel Raies, who shares a look at "the art and science behind the Double Cask whisky making process," plus a tasting and interactive question and answer session.

With this virtual experience, fans get to follow the Double Cask journey from acorn to glass and they will get an appreciation for the use of hand-picked American and European Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks. The event kicks off in September and offers a unique way for fans of the brand to experience The Macallan's newest launch from afar.
