Macallan's Triple Cask range was launched in 2018, taking the place of the Fine Oak range. This is the entry level expression from the series, matured for 12 years and drawn from a combination of European sherry seasoned casks, American sherry seasoned casks and American ex-bourbon casks.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Gingerbread, vanilla essence, wafts of buttered toast and clotted-cream-topped scones.
Raisins, sultanas and stem ginger. Citrus begins to develop on the palate, with a touch of dark chocolate.
Subtle cedar and honey linger on the palate.

If it wasn’t from Macallan you wouldn’t spend the money. Absolutely nothing wrong with the liquid in the bottle, a delightful first timer scotch. Many, many finer whiskies out there for the price. However no good having a name and not trading on it.
I was a long time Macallan Fine Oak fan. Macallan will tell you the Triple Cask is the same, just re-packaged and renamed, I’ve exchanged several emails with them. I promise it is not the same scotch. I’ve consumed the 12, 15 and 18 at this point. I’ve compared them side by side with what I had left of the 15, 17 and even opened my bottle of 21 Fine Oak. There’s a very notable lack of flavor in the new variants. Still very smooth like the Fine Oak but almost completely devoid of flavor.... it’s a very poor evolution of what used to be my favorite scotch. This post makes me very sad.
this is so smooth n buttery. the nose is so subtle and I've never smelled oiliness and vanilla so subtle. no harsh alcohol on sniffing. apricot vanilla and peach on the palate. very nice
The tasting note is spot on, this is a lovely single malt if you are trying for the first time, since purchasing i have come to like this and the 18 year old macallan very much.
Pretty strong aroma that lures you to it. Smooth and easy on the palate, probably better served neat or with a drop of still water, ice overly dilutes it you miss out on the richness of its content
