The Macallan 12 Years Old Sherry Oak | Scotch | Highland | Single Malt Whisky | Dried Fruit, Oak Spice and Nutmeg | European Oak Sherry Seasoned Casks | 40 Percent ABV | 70 cl

Product Information

The age marked in any single malt represents the youngest whiskey included in the bottle. So The Macallan 12 means that the youngest whisky used came from a barrel that aged 12 years. You may have Macallan 15 or 18 in there as well, but since 12 is the youngest, that’s the age listed. Triple Oak – First Maturation in European oak seasoned with sherry, Second Maturation in American oak seasoned with sherry, Third Maturation in American ex-bourbon casks Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Strong creamy melon and vanilla hints. Orange oil wafts from the glass. Chili pepper hits later with hints of cinnamon and other spices The Macallan 12 Double Oak Palate Hot chili and cinnamon, followed by vanilla, raisin sweetness and something dark and nutty, a bit of milk chocolate, some fennel or rosemary The Macallan 12 Triple Cask Palate The Macallan is technically a Speyside scotch, and that is how the brand prefers to be known. However, you will note on their bottle the label says “Highland Single Malt Scotch,” which obviously leads to some confusion. Since Speyside is a sort of subregion of the Highlands, just off the shoulder of Scotland, technically both are correct.

Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. A good dose of sweet dried fruits drowned in vanilla. Caramel and strong sherry cream. Definite notes of oak and nutty edge. Something like a bakery flavor. The Macallan 12 Sherry Cask Palate

Whisky is any liquor made from distilled grains. These grains could include barley, wheat, corn, or rye. The distilled liquor is then aged, usually in wood, for a number of years to develop more flavor and color. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. Strong oak. Dried fruit: raisins, apricots, mango perhaps? A mix of butterscotch and caramel, not much spice. The Macallan 12 Sherry Cask Nose

OVERVIEW

The Macallan distillery uses smaller than average copper stills for the first distillation. The small size of the stills has two effects. First, it makes smaller batches which are easier to control and much more precise. Second, it allows greater interaction between the copper surface and the soon-to-be scotch. These interactions increase flavor development. Small Cuts Harvested barley is soaked in water to germinate. The barley is dried overheat to halt germination in a process called “malting.” The malted barley is then ground in a grist mill and combined with warm water to form “wort.” Barley’s natural enzymes begin early conversion of sugar into alcohol. Fermenting If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
