The Macallan 12 Y.O. Sherry Oak Cask Scotch Whisky is composed solely of whiskies matured in Spanish red oak casks, most of which are first fill.
Tasting notes
The Macallan distillery, owned by Edrington, has collaborated with designer David Carson to rethink the design of the Double Cask, Sherry Oak and Colour collections, creating a new visual identity that combines tradition and contemporary vision: the project, which follows Carson's creative direction for the Colour Collection in 2023, draws inspiration from the balance between sherry and oak that defines the aromatic profile of Macallan whiskies, as well as the iconic shape of the distillery, with its distinctive undulating green roof that has influenced the new profile of the bottle.
Distinctive elements remain, such as the triangular label on the shoulder, symbolising the Spanish 'Sherry Triangle' where the sherry-seasoned oak barrels originate, while the back introduces a new symbol dedicated to the types of barrels to illustrate the aromatic contribution of American and European oak. The restyling is completed by advanced anti-counterfeiting technology, an informative QR code and a richer visual narrative, designed to express the complexity and evolution of the brand, with the new design to be gradually introduced in the Timeless Collections during 2025.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
