The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old Malt

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old, Speyside Single Malt, Scotland, 70cl

Producer Tasting Note:

Colour: Burnished Gold. Nose: Lemon citrus, then orange peel and an interlacing sweetness that softens but doesn't eliminate the zest. A quiet note of vanilla is followed by dark chocolate with lingering floral and light oak notes. Palate: Citrus and boiled sweets rule the palate, along with hints of ginger and cinnamon, while soft oak tones reveal toasted apples. Finish: Medium sweet, malty and slightly dry.

Critical Acclaim:

"Two oaks are better than one in this single malt, which marries whiskies matured in sherry-seasoned casks of both American and European oak. The sherry imparts aromas of raisins, figs, hazelnuts, blanched almonds, candied orange peel, and leather. A backbone of vanilla sweetness on the palate supports layers of ginger and white pepper, dark chocolate, leather, raisins, toasted hazelnuts, and orange oil... Warming and rich without being syrupy, it doubles up on accessibility with its balance and remarkably affordable price for its quality and age"
