The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak

A cornerstone of the Sherry Oak range from Macallan, this 12 Year Old expression is matured exclusively in sherry seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez. Bottled at 40% ABV, it captures the essence of the distillery’s classic style, shaped by careful cask selection and a focus on rich, fruit driven character.

This is a whisky that leans into tradition, offering the familiar depth and warmth associated with sherry cask maturation while remaining balanced and approachable.

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Clean and gently sweet, with sultanas and delicate apple blossom at the forefront. Floral notes sit alongside subtle sherry influence, followed by hints of orchard fruit, tropical tones and a touch of golden syrup.

Taste
Rounded with a medium weight, bringing flavours of warm pastries and vibrant marmalade. Dried fruits and citrus peel develop, supported by a growing sweetness reminiscent of barley sugar.

Finish
Steady and satisfying, with lasting oak character that lingers on the palate.
