The Macallan Double Cask Strength 12yr Old Whisky 700ml

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old brings together the best of two worlds, marrying European and American oak sherry-seasoned casks to create a beautifully balanced Speyside single malt. The result is a whisky that combines The Macallan's signature richness with a brighter, sweeter character. The nose is elegant and inviting, opening with aromas of honey, creamy butterscotch and vanilla, layered with citrus zest, baked apple and dried fruits. Gentle notes of nutmeg and toasted oak add warmth and complexity. On the palate, rich caramel and toffee are complemented by flavours of ripe orchard fruit, candied orange, sultanas and vanilla custard. The European oak contributes hints of warming spice and dried fruit, while the American oak adds a smooth sweetness and creamy texture. The finish is long, silky and well-balanced, lingering with sweet oak, gentle spice, citrus and soft sherry notes. An approachable yet sophisticated Speyside single malt, The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old is an excellent introduction to the house style and equally rewarding for seasoned whisky drinkers. Enjoy it neat, with a splash of water, or over a large ice cube.
