Description

The Macallan invests an exorbitant amount each year into the wood in which they age their whiskies. In the case of the Sherry Oak Cask Series European oak sherry casks were predominately used with some American oak sherry casks used as well. Both types were seasoned with oloroso sherry. Additionally, the majority of these barrels were first-fill casks which will mean even more color and flavors are picked up. After 12 years of aging, this single malt is bottled at 40% ABV with natural coloring. No caramel coloring is used.

TASTING NOTES
“The color is a medium amber color with a slight greenish hue, common in sherried whisky. Fruity aromas and a soft, creamy texture are quite inviting. More fruit, Marcona almonds, fresh orange zest, and baking spices are on the palate. The Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak Cask is quite the gateway drug for new Scotch whisky drinkers.”
