The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Two Casks, One Perfect Balance
The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old is where the distillery's legendary sherry oak heritage meets the sweeter, lighter influence of American oak — and the result is a whisky of remarkable harmony. Matured in a combination of hand-selected European oak sherry-seasoned casks and American oak sherry-seasoned casks, this expression captures the full breadth of The Macallan's character: rich and complex from the European oak, soft and sweet from the American. Twelve years of patience, two cask traditions, one beautifully rounded dram.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Warm honey, vanilla cream, and fresh citrus with a gentle undercurrent of dried fruit and ginger spice
- Palate: Smooth and perfectly balanced — honeyed sweetness, ripe orchard fruit, toffee, and a soft warmth from the American oak that complements the richer European sherry influence
- Finish: Medium-long and clean with lingering honey, ginger, and a gentle oak warmth
