Description

A rich and well-balanced single malt from The Macallan, aged for 12 years in a mix of American and European Sherry oak casks. This maturation adds layers of vanilla, spice, and dried fruit, creating a classic Speyside whisky.

Here, the proportion of American oak ex-Sherry casks is higher than in the 12 Year Old Sherry Oak, but no ex-bourbon casks are used as they are in the 12 Year Old Fine Oak release.

Nose

Classic dried fruit territory, if less intense than the Sherry Oak expression. Aromatic butterscotch too.

Palate

Creamy and honeyed with some thick-cut marmalade, cinnamon and warm pastries.

Finish

Fruity with vanilla and sultana.

Nevada Camel

I enjoyed this as day 12 of my Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar. This may be "soft" but it is not "dainty". My favorites are big smoky peaty Islays, and this has plenty of flavor for me. It's not big, not peaty, and softly smoky, but it is full of flavor. Classic Macallan profile with sherry sweetness and a bit of extra spice. I'm saddened that this sold out. It's much better than any of Macallan's NAS offerings that I have tried.

A decent sherried Macallan

I don't normally write reviews but felt I should when I read the "soft and dainty" review on here, I think some folks relate intensity of flavour to quality. First of all it is good to see an age statement on a Macallan release, it is an enjoyable sherried Macallan with touches of the Fine Oak, it is not as big sherried as the standard Mac 12 but a decent sherried Macallan all the same. No complaints from me for this one.

Soft and dainty

Nose – Orange, much like their 15 yo Fine Oak. Vanilla and oak. Apple. Palate – Unlike their 12 yo sherried cask, this lacks the body. Has the quintessential Macallan flavours, however, dialed down. It’s sweet but not honey sweet, more caramel sweet which leads me to its creaminess and a tad buttery which both linger. Finish is short and dry. What little spices to arrive at the start of the palate do not linger on. A very soft finish. Overall, I must say this is half what I expected. I would gladly take their 12 year sherry oak any day of the week. Overall this whisky is soft, dainty, something I’d serve my grandmother or a new whisky drinker. If you’re looking for something great, this wasn’t it.
