Notes | |||
"The Macallan Sherry Oak is exclusively matured for a minimum of 12 years in Spanish oak casks, handcrafted and sherry seasoned in Jerez, Spain. This delivers a classic Macallan style, wonderfully rich in colour with dried fruits, spice and chocolate orange. "Rich gold colour. Vanilla with a hint of ginger, dried fruits, sherry sweetness and wood smoke. Deliciously smooth, rich dried fruits and sherry, balanced with wood smoke and spice. Sweet toffee and dried fruits, with wood smoke and spice." —producer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The initial aroma is sweetish, winey and oaky; aeration allows the aroma to expand to include marzipan, treacle, molasses, honey, vanilla bean, cinnamon and cocoa butter. The palate entry is sweet, creamy and assertive; at midpalate the flavor becomes intensely nutty, buttery and bacon fat-like, with the beginnings of rancio. Remains one of Speyside's standard-bearer 12 year olds. Best Buy." —Paul Pacult, Wine Enthusiast Magazine |
