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

This is my favorite Speyside. Bar none. The sherry really colors the whisky on my palate - perhaps a bit too much. But still lovely!
Talisker in winter, otherwise M12 the go-to after dinner.
I generally stay away from Mac's because they're a little on the pricy side, but I bit the bullet on this one after reading some good reviews. Undoubtedly the sherry comes through (which I like), and I found that theres something a little different in there (compared to others of the same ilk), that I cant quite put my finger on yet, which i'll enjoy trying to get. it's undoubtedly a quality product, but i wont be rushing to buy another at the price quoted here when theres so many others of a similar quality that give better value for less moolah.
This is my favourite spirit. The sherry note is inviting as well as pleasurable. I have approx 10-20 different spirit opened at a given time. However, this Macallan is my daily dram. Cheers
I love this Speyside, and I'm quite particular. Excellent flavor, well balanced, great warmth, and very smooth. Can't believe it's under $100. This will always be in my cabinet.
