The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Manufacturer's Notes: The Macallan Double Cask 12 years old is a honeyed, indulgent and rounded single malt, its character defined by the unmistakable prominence of the American Oak Style. A beautiful partnership, as sunshine and rain create a spectacular rainbow, so the pairing of sherry seasoned European and american oak casks combine in a perfect harmony of flavours and natural colour. The delicate flavour of American Oak - Vanilla, Citrus and light oak - takes centre stage as the traditional Macallan character of rich fruit, sherry and wood spice affords a familiar back drop. It is this partnership that reveals an unmatched investment in time and extraordinary commitment to mastery for which The Macallan brings new oak from America across thousands of miles to Spain, where casks are crafted and sherry seasoned before travelling to our distillery on Speyside. Here they are filled with new make spirit and left to mature for twelve years. These whiskies are then harmoniously united with those aged in exceptional sherry seasoned European oak casks. Create your own partnership - let double cask take you to your favourite place - relax and enjoy. Underpinning the mastery are The Macallan's six pillars; The unique elements that combine to make The Macallan so special. The Macallan Six Pillars.
