Product Details
Macallan 12 Years Old Double Cask is a classic pillar of The Macallan's core range. Unlike the traditional Sherry Oak series, it incorporates a higher proportion of spirit matured in American Sherry seasoned oak casks. The American oak imparts soft vanilla, citrus, and butterscotch flavors, while the European oak maintains The Macallan's signature spice and dried fruit characteristics. The synergy of the two creates a warm, approachable, yet deeply complex personality, making it the perfect choice for an introduction to The Macallan world or for everyday enjoyment.

Read More About the Brand
The Macallan was founded in 1824 and is situated on the Easter Elchies House estate in the Speyside region of Scotland. As one of the world's most prestigious single malt whisky brands, The Macallan consistently adheres to its 'Six Pillars': The Estate, Curiously Small Stills, The Finest Cut, Exceptional Oak Casks, Natural Colour, and The Unsurpassed Spirit.
The success of the Double Cask series stems from The Macallan's extreme dedication to wood management. The brand travels specially to America and Europe to personally select the 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 vibrancy of American oak with the deep complexity of European oak, balancing honey, sweet citrus, and classic wood spices. This is not just a whisky, but an artwork woven together by The Macallan's master craftsmanship and the passage of time.
