Product Details
The Macallan 12 Years Old Double Cask is a classic pillar of the core range. Unlike the traditional Sherry Oak series, it incorporates a higher proportion of spirits matured in American Sherry seasoned oak casks. American oak imparts soft vanilla, citrus, and butterscotch flavors, while European oak retains Macallan's signature spice and dried fruit characteristics. The fusion of the two gives this 12-year-old whisky a warm, approachable, and deep personality, making it the best choice for exploring the world of Macallan or for daily sipping.

Founded in 1824, The Macallan is located at the Easter Elchies House in the Speyside region of Scotland. As one of the world's most prestigious single malt whisky brands, Macallan consistently adheres to the 'Six Pillars', including its Spiritual Home, Curiously Small Stills, Finest Cut, Exceptional Oak Casks, Natural Colour, and Peerless Spirit.
The success of the Double Cask series stems from Macallan's extreme focus on wood management. The brand travels to America and Europe to personally select oak, which is then seasoned with Sherry in Spain before being transported to Scotland for maturation. The Double Cask 12 Years Old perfectly merges the bright vitality of American oak with the deep complexity of European oak, balancing honey, sweet citrus, and classic wood spices. This is not just a whisky; it is a masterpiece of precision blending by Macallan's master craftsmen and the passage of time.
