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.
Classic dried fruit territory, if less intense than the Sherry Oak expression. Aromatic butterscotch too.
Creamy and honeyed with some thick-cut marmalade, cinnamon and warm pastries.
Fruity with vanilla and sultana.

A delightful dram nosing with hints of candied citrus and earth with layered flavors of stone fruits and clover honey. Elegant and as unassuming as a stretch on the river Spey.
This is a decent lighter sherried Macallan and exactly what I expected to find in the bottle, those reviewers knocking it for not being more heavily sherried should have read the description before purchasing, this is a very good lighter sherried Macallan 12.
Finally an aged release compared to all those high priced NAS crap from Macallan. Bought is at high price at a specialist shop in MY. Not justified. Sherry 12 is always the best. FO 12 is good. This has thin body.
For me its thin and a shadow of its former self. It used to pride itself in distinctive exellence now its big business . There are a multitude of other Single Malts doing more interesting expressions
Hard to find uniqueness in this one. Decent scotch, caramel, vanilla, soft, oaky, slightly charred oak. Lacking, but nice nonetheless
