More information

The Macallan 12 Year Old Triple Cask Oak is a refined whisky characterized by its production from a precise combination of three types of barrels. This innovative process involves the use of ex-sherry European oak barrels, ex-sherry American oak barrels, and ex-bourbon American oak barrels, all carefully selected by Macallan's master distillers. This unique combination allows for a complexity of flavors that masterfully balances sweetness and spices. The maturation process begins with the selection of European oak barrels that have contained sherry, providing deep and spicy notes. The ex-sherry American oak barrels contribute a smooth sweetness and hints of vanilla. While the ex-bourbon American oak barrels add touches of citrus and coconut, creating exceptional richness and depth. During the 12 years of aging, this whisky acquires a complexity that reflects the best combination of each type of oak. The flavors of Macallan 12 Year Old Triple Cask Oak are elegant and well-balanced. On the nose, aromas of vanilla, honey, and a subtle hint of citrus can be detected. On the palate, this whisky offers a rich palette with notes of nuts, spices like cinnamon and cloves, and a touch of toasted oak. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a warm and satisfying sensation with hints of chocolate and nutmeg.

It can be enjoyed with aged cheeses such as Manchego or old Gouda, which harmonize with the spicy and sweet notes of the whisky.
