The Macallan 12 Year Double Cask Whisky 70cl

The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask Single Malt Whisky

Exclusively sherry seasoned whisky with the perfect balance of European and American oak maturation to create a distinctive American oak style - sweet, honeyed and rounded.

We carefully select the finest quality spirit from our stills to ensure we create the best single malt whisky. This finest cut ensures we produce our signature viscous mouth-feel and fruity aroma and flavour. This small portion, or ‘cut’ is incredibly selective and one of the finest in the industry. It is primarily responsible for the full-bodied richness of The Macallan new make spirit. This clear colourless spirit is selected at just under 70% alcohol by volume. Distinctly robust and characterful this ‘new make’ spirit is the starting point for all Macallan.

The Macallan’s oak maturation casks are the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, natural colours and distinctive aromas and flavours of The Macallan.

We control the whole journey from forest to cask for both our Spanish and American oak sherry seasoned casks, and buy only the best of barrels from premium bourbon producers.

Our exceptional oak casks are the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, natural colours and distinctive aromas and flavours of The Macallan. These oak casks are crafted to our own specifications and account for up to 80% of the final aromas and flavours of The Macallan. Because of this, we spend more per cask than any other distillery in sourcing, crafting, seasoning and caring for its casks.
