Macallan 12 Years Double Cask embodies the perfect balance of two different woods, American oak and European oak, used to make casks that have previously held prestigious sherrys. The dominant wood is American oak, with notes of citrus and oak, rounded out by the rich fruit aromas and woody spiciness typical of Macallan whiskies. This incomparable harmony of woods is the result of a relentless quest for excellence, the hallmark of The Macallan since 1824.
