Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year 110 Proof Single Malt

Product Description

The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak 110 Proof Single Malt Scotch Whisky: The Classic Sherry Oak 12 at 55% ABV

The Macallan 110 Proof is part of the Sherry Oak Collection: The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old, bottled at higher strength. It’s matured for 12 years exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak casks on The Macallan’s 485-acre estate at Easter Elchies in Speyside, then presented at 55% ABV (110 proof), a strength The Macallan says enhances the bold, rich, and fruity character the Sherry Oak 12 is known for. It reveals an added depth, with layers the standard 43% bottling doesn’t show. The color is natural.

The Macallan was founded in 1824 on a plateau above the River Spey, and its style is shaped by the sherry-seasoned oak it has long prized.
