FULL DESCRIPTION

This gives the whisky it’s often nutty, dried fruit characteristics which the Macallan 12 Sherry Oak nails down to a tee.

Nose: Fresh ginger, dried fruit and vanilla notes.

Connoisseur

The Rare Cask bottling is a display of some of the finest and most exclusive casks the distillery has to offer. Because of the heavy distillate Macallan choose to select from their run, the casks used and the aging is very important to the final result. Macallan have become well known as experts in cask selection. No colour correction happens between batches of the Macallan so everything has to be done to make sure each new batch looks like the last.
