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

mac 12 has been my fav over 15 years, they changed, no sherry or vanilla, NOY WORTH BUYING
Excellent caramel with a beautiful texture the longer it sits on the palate.
Cool
I’m a regular 12 year old double cask fan - it’s my go to drink. I thought I’d tray myself and this was such a let down. It’s 50% more price and tastes harsher - the first sip is too alcohol forward. Seems to me all they did was added 3% to the alcohol and added 50% to the price Stick with the double cask
This is my go-to 12 year old whisky. It is consistently excellent with a wonderful sherried flavour, sweet but not too much so and a long woody aftertaste that lingers. Yes it's around £70, so comparatively expensive to other 12's, but worth it in my opinion. It never lasts long on my shelf.
