The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old is a signature expression from one of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries, expertly crafted to showcase the seamless harmony between American oak and European oak, both seasoned with sherry. This balance defines the character of the entire Double Cask Collection — rich, warm, creamy, and naturally vibrant in color, without any artificial additives.

Aged for twelve full years, this release embodies everything Macallan is celebrated for: elegance, depth, and a devotion to cask quality that few distilleries can match. The American oak imparts vanilla, honey, soft fruits, and gentle sweetness, while the European oak contributes dried fruit, warm spice, and a subtle oak richness. Together, they create a balanced, approachable single malt with remarkable texture and complexity.

This is the bottle that introduced countless drinkers to The Macallan’s modern style — a smooth, creamy, sherry-seasoned malt with a flavor profile that remains a worldwide favorite.
