About Macallan 12 Years

Macallan 12 Years undergoes a unique double cask maturation process. It is first aged in American oak casks, which impart a rich and sweet flavor profile, before being transferred to European oak casks, which add spicy and dried fruit notes to the final product. The result is a well-balanced and complex single malt whisky that is highly sought after by whisky enthusiasts.

History

The Macallan is a famous whisky distillery established in 1824. They carefully select oak casks by hand and mature their whiskies for years to create a premium product. The Macallan 12 Years Double Cask is one such product that is matured for 12 years in American and European sherry oak casks. It was released in 2016 and has become a part of The Macallan's range of single malt Scotch whiskies.
