The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask 12YO
Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask has been aged in a combination of American oak and ex-sherry casks. This is a rich whisky which combines fruity citrus and caramel with spicy ginger and nutmeg. This burnished gold spirit presents a lemon citrus nose, the orange peel and an interlacing sweetness that softens but doesn`t eliminate the zest. A quiet note of vanilla is followed by dark chocolate - more assertive, yet not overly so - with a lingering floral and light oak notes. Citrus and boiled sweets rule the palate, along with hints of ginger and cinnamon, while soft oak tones reveal toasted apples. The finish is medium sweet, malty and slightly dry.
A superb, legendary scotch best enjoyed neat.
