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 continue to buy this whisky. It's sweet, holds well on the palate, and is full of flavour. I cannot understand a negative review - one of my favourite whiskies having been a fan for many years...it won't disappoint.
not sure about the "sulfur" being mentioned in some of these reviews and was reluctant to try it. I found it to be actually one of the best. I will always have a bottle of this around and I will not let reviews deter me in the future. This is a fine whisky. Maybe the competitors put up false reviews? It's honestly that good. I simply don't believe the negative comments.
strong sherry taste with a hint of sweetness. this scotch and glenmorainge lasanta are very similar. in my opinion just a notch below yamazaki 12yr
I have tried many different brands but this one is really OMG. Love it!
The trouble is people with little experience of malt don't know how to taste ! they don't know how get the best out of whisky and then leave unjustifiable, poor reviews.
