Macallan DOUBLE CASK 12 Year Single Malt Scotch 86 Proof 750ml

The Macallan | Double Cask 12 Year Old | Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Speyside, Scotland

The Macallan is one of the world's most revered single malt distilleries, situated on the Easter Elchies estate in the heart of Speyside, Scotland. Founded in 1824, the distillery has built its legendary reputation on an unwavering commitment to exceptional oak cask maturation — a philosophy that defines every expression in the range.

The Double Cask 12 Year Old is matured in a combination of American oak ex-sherry casks and European oak ex-sherry casks — a dual-cask approach that brings together the lighter, citrus-forward character of American oak with the richer, dried fruit and spice complexity of European oak. The result is a whisky of remarkable harmony and depth, accessible yet genuinely complex.

Golden amber in the glass. The nose is inviting and generous — sweet dried fruit, honeyed vanilla, caramel, and a hint of citrus, with warm notes of ginger and nutmeg. On the palate, beautifully balanced with sherry sweetness, ripe orchard fruit, toffee, and subtle spice. The finish is long, warm, and lingering — a hallmark of Macallan's mastery of the cask.

Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV), the Double Cask 12 is approachable enough for new whisky drinkers yet complex enough to reward the seasoned connoisseur. Exceptional neat or on the rocks; also a superb base for a classic Whisky Sour or Rob Roy.
