The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask

The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask is the distillery’s first new release with an age statement in three years, bucking the trend of non-age statement Scotch whiskies that has grown over the past few years. Filling the gap between the Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak and Fine Oak from years ago, this new release is the best of both both worlds, matured in both American and European oak casks that were previously used to age sherry. The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask has a festive aroma of fruitcake and match heads — a bit lighter on the nose than its Sherry Oak sibling. A palate of raisins, brazil nuts, and honey follows, leading to a citrusy floral finish.
