Description
Introducing one of The Whisky Shop’s most prestigious exclusives 12-year-old single malt from The Macallan, bottled at 110 Proof (55% abv). A truly rare gem, this limited release liquid was crafted with care and matured predominantly in European sherry oak casks, with just a hint of influence from American sherry-seasoned oak. It is not only a classic example of the depth and elegance that The Macallan is famed for but also showcases The Macallan’s bolder edge, with its higher abv offering a richer and more intense experience than the classic 12 Year Old Sherry Oak (which sits at 40%).
On the nose, it greets you with the warm, comforting aroma of baked figs, plum jam, nutmeg and a twist of orange peel. The palate unfolds in layers of toffee apple, Christmas cake, dark honey and clove, with the sweetness deepened by roasted hazelnut and a touch of cocoa. The finish lingers beautifully, carrying notes of treacle, rich sherried sweetness and gentle oak spice, leaving a lasting warmth that invites another sip.
It’s a dram that captures everything The Macallan does best with rich sherry influence, impeccable balance, and sheer indulgence – just only turned up a notch! A must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike, this exclusive release won’t hang around for long.
