Description
The maturation process in these two types of cask gives the whisky an incomparable depth and complexity. The European oak casks bring structured spice and rich sherry notes, while the American oak casks provide soft vanilla, creamy sweetness and gentle harmony.
This edition is part of the Double Cask Collection, which represents the perfect marriage of two worlds – European and American oak casks seasoned with fine sherry wine in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain
The result is a well-balanced single malt that is characterized by its natural color, aromatic elegance and smooth mouthfeel.
The Macallan 12 Years Old Double Cask unfolds its elegance best neat or with a drop of water to emphasize the fine sherry and vanilla notes. It is an excellent culinary accompaniment to caramelized desserts such as crème brûlée or apple tart, as well as dark chocolate with orange zest or mild cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. As an accompaniment to smoked salmon or duck breast with orange sauce, it emphasizes its fruity and spicy depth.
A single malt that combines art, craftsmanship and sensory sophistication in perfect balance – a masterpiece of Scottish distillation.
