The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak

Released as part of Macallan’s ever-wonderful Sherry Oak range comes this 12 Year Old. It has spent its entire maturation in sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, and is bottled at 40% ABV after its 12 years of ageing. It’s full of all those hallmark dried fruit and marmalade notes we’ve come to know and love from a sherried Macallan.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Crisp and sweet. There are notes of sultanas and fresh apple blossom. There is a defined floral note followed by Sherry hints. Calvados emerges with a tropical fruit note and golden syrup.

Palate

Medium-body and quite firm. There are notes of hot pastries and marmalade, sultanas and peels with a developing sweetness from the barley sugar.

Finish

Good length with a solid oaked note

It's ok

I have always thought Macallan survives more on it's legend and hype than the true nature of it's product, that's why they can charge the prices they do. That's not to say this isn't a fine scotch (it is) but it's not what i personally want out of a whisky that uses 'sherry cask' as it's selling point, so if it's your thing, enjoy, but it's likely to be a while before i pay this amount for another bottle.

After a break in the sherry cask whisky's in Australia, it's nice to see this 12 YO offering back. Lovely spiced fruity notes on the nose from those Oloroso casks - that medium dry construct. But there are still malty & peaty characters with great appeal. Beautiful brassy/bronze colour. The palate is sweet, spicy, lively, long & soft. It's like drinking a lovely old Barolo or Rioja.... just plain sexy

Good, interesting dram

Picked this up for about 35% cheaper than the listed price (thank you Taiwan). Only tried a non age statement macallan before, this is the first I tried with one and I like it. I don't think the Sherry flavor is super strong, but is detctable. What I really like about this is the spiciness, like an oak spiciness, on the palate that lingers in the after taste. It gives it a different dimension and makes it pretty tasty. For the price is paid I feel fine, for the price listed here however I would have to say that it's just too much, and that there is better on the market for such a price. Overall though a nice whisky.

Generally alright.

This is a fairly nice one. On the nose you can pick up the sherry. As you sip its quite hot, and you get a little burn, soon fades and you get a loverly sweet aftertaste. It is very sweet I'm finding. It's a nice one but I do feel it's overpriced. If this was cheaper I would give better stars but for value I can't help but feel there's better out there.
