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

I just bought a pint of Macallan 12 for the first time and all I can say is wow! (Along with a string of expletives used in the most positive sense) This is hands down the best Speyside single malt I've ever tasted, and amongst the best in general, though tend to be partial to Islay single malts. I'm going to have one more wee dram, then set the rest of the pint aside with my collection.
100% the best scotch I have ever had. I've tasted a few including multiple different kinds of Johnny Walker which were all just god awful and left a terrible smokey taste in my mouth afterwards and glenfiddich which was pretty good. A little watered down I felt like. This was by far the best. I wouldn't change anything about it. Incredible.
For the price I find it spot on when I indulge in single malt. Tasty and stout
This is a wonderful 12 year old- probably the best I've had. But Macallan is seriously overpriced. The absolute cheapest I've found it is $51.99. Just can't compete price wise with others in this age range. But, then again, it's certainly one of the best.
Lately I have been spoiling myself and drinking nothing but Yamazaki 12 and my personal favorite the 18 year along with some Hibiki 21 year. I can't say I personally like this better but for the price
