The Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky // 750 ml Each

An obsession with quality has been the hallmark of The Macallan since its founding in 1824 above the river Spey in north-east Scotland. The historic distillery has since built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies.

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year is a harmonious single malt with a warm character. The perfect partnership of Oloroso sherry seasoned American and European oak casks creates the distinctive, warm character of this harmonious single malt. The skilled whisky making team optimize the right mix of European and American sherry seasoned oak casks to allow the delicate and indulgent flavors of American oak to take center stage while the more traditional Macallan characteristics of rich fruits, sherry and wood spice provide a reassuringly familiar backdrop.

IN COLLABORATION WITH STEVE MCCURRY
Steve McCurry has been one of the most iconic voices in contemporary photography for more than 30 years, with scores of magazine and book covers, over a dozen books, and countless exhibitions around the world to his name.

He followed our journey of The Macallan cask from its origins in the forests of America and Europe, through the cooperages and Bodegas of Spain, and to our distillery in Speyside, Scotland. There the casks meet our new make spirit and are patiently matured until they are harmoniously united to create a distinctive single malt with a sweeter, warmer taste and character.
