Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak Collection Single Malt 750ml

The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak is the cornerstone expression of one of Scotland's most celebrated distilleries — a whisky that has defined the benchmark for sherry-matured single malt Scotch for generations. Crafted entirely in hand-picked, seasoned Spanish oak sherry casks from Jerez, this is a whisky of remarkable depth, warmth, and consistency.

On the nose, rich mahogany tones give way to aromas of dried fruits, toffee, and warming ginger, with a gentle undercurrent of clove and sherry sweetness. The palate is full and generous — layers of concentrated caramel, butterscotch, and custard unfold alongside ripe apricot and a subtle citrus lift of orange peel. The finish is medium-long, spiced, and satisfying, with a lingering touch of sherry oak and sweet wood.

"Look for a rich butterscotch scent and a hint of fresh apricot. On the palate, this Sherry-matured single malt layers on concentrated caramel, butterscotch and custard, finishing long and spiced on a hint of orange peel."
