The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is where tradition meets a fresh twist. Crafted by blending sherry seasoned American and European oak casks, this whisky strikes a perfect balance between indulgent sweetness and classic depth. The American oak brings creamy butterscotch and vanilla custard notes to the forefront, while the European oak layers in rich fruits, sherry, and warm wood spices, creating a smooth, harmonious experience.

Expect a flavour profile packed with creamy butterscotch, a subtle hint of toffee apple, candied orange, and the comforting warmth of newly felled oak. The palate is deliciously honeyed, with wood spices and citrus dancing alongside raisins and caramel, finishing with a lingering oak that is both sweet and drying.

This 12-year-old expression has earned serious respect, snagging the Double Gold at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and scoring a solid 90/100 from Whisky Advocate. Those accolades speak volumes about its quality and craftsmanship.

Macallan’s whisky makers expertly optimize the mix of American and European sherry seasoned oak casks to highlight the delicate and indulgent flavours of American oak while preserving the signature Macallan character. The result is a whisky that’s creamy, rich, and layered with complexity without being over the top.

Whether you’re into rich wood spice, dried fruits, or a natural rich gold colour in your whisky, this 12-year-old stands out with its matured character and balanced flavour profile. It’s a no-nonsense single malt that delivers on flavour and smoothness, making it a staple for anyone who appreciates a whisky with depth and personality.
