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.
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.
Medium-body and quite firm. There are notes of hot pastries and marmalade, sultanas and peels with a developing sweetness from the barley sugar.
Good length with a solid oaked note
Toffe, dried fruit, and a malty sweetness on the nose. Citrus with a fruity background on the palate. Finishes with a sherry oaky sweetness with some spice
Great, sweet
A very nice whisky, beautiful color, fruit and sherry flavors, a deep and rich pallet... to continue.
Smooth with a nice sweetness, warming but not a burn. Great for new comers. I am a whisky noob.
I would be very happy if this was the only 12 year that I could drink for the rest of My life!
