Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask

A 12 year old single malt from The Macallan, distilled in Craigellachie on Speyside. It is matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned American oak and sherry-seasoned European oak casks, prepared at the distillery's own cooperages and bodegas in Jerez, and it is bottled in natural colour with no added caramel. The American oak brings sweetness and vanilla freshness, while the European oak adds deeper dried fruit and soft spice. Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell conceived the expression. The nose is creamy butterscotch with toffee apple, candied orange, vanilla custard and newly felled oak. The palate is honeyed, with wood spice, citrus, raisins and caramel, and the finish is warm, sweet and drying.
