The The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old appears the color of a harvest sun in the glass. The nose opens with notes of creamy butterscotch with a hint of toffee apple, candied orange, vanilla custard and newly felled oak. The palate is deliciously honeyed, wood spices and citrus, balanced with raisins and caramel. Oak lingers on the warm, sweet and drying finish.
The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old forms part of our Double Cask range which marries the classic Macallan style and the unmistakable sweetness of American oak. This is a fully rounded single malt in perfect balance, with flavors of honey, citrus and ginger.
The perfect partnership of Oloroso sherry seasoned American and European oak casks creates the distinctive, warm character of this harmonious single malt. Our skilled whisky making team optimize the right mix of European and American sherry seasoned oak casks to allow the delicate and indulgent flavors of American oak to take centre stage while the more traditional Macallan characteristics of rich fruits, sherry and wood spice provide a reassuringly familiar backdrop.
