The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old delivers a distinct American oak style, reflecting a perfect harmony of flavours and natural colour. The delicate flavour of American oak – vanilla, citrus and light oak - rises in prominence as the traditional Macallan character of rich fruit, sherry and wood spice affords a familiar back drop. This is a flavour combination which is guaranteed until the very last drop.
A limited annual release, The Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Years Old has been matured for a minimum of 18 years on The Macallan Estate in predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks from Jerez, Spain.
2. White Label Sauternes Finish: Hints of dried fruits mingled with hints of spices and acacia honey. Delicate and syrupy, with flavours of ripe and juicy fruit. Light with notes of almond and hazelnut. 6 months ageing in Sauternes dessert wine barrels.
3. Red Label Grand Cru Finish: Hints of “crème brûlée” and early autumn walnuts. Generous and mild, with echoes of generous Medjool dates. Long flavorsome hints of fine spices and brown sugar. 9-12 months post-bend aging in French oak used for Saint Emilion red wine.
This expression, released annually, is an impeccably balanced, distinctive single malt with a sweeter character due to the influence of sherry seasoned European and American oak maturation.
Each cask selected in this expression has spent its entire maturation period of almost two decades exclusively in sherry seasoned oak casks.
