The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Whisky 70 cl / 40 % Schottland

The 12-year-old classic of the Macallan distillery matures exclusively in Oloroso sherry barrels.

The Old Sherry Oak Whisky spends its 12-year undisturbed aging in Oloroso sherry casks and is the classic of the Macallan Distillery. The barrels are made from the air-dried wood of Spanish trees, which are then filled with the world-famous sweet wine from Jerez for 18 months before making their way to Scotland. The distillery spares no effort in this respect and spends a proud budget for the exclusive production of the casks - which also explains the higher price of the Sherry Oak whiskies. Ultimately it is the barrels that transform Macallan's "New Make Spirit" fresh from the distillery over the years into a single malt with an aromatic mix of dried fruit, oak and spices.
To ensure that Macallan Whiskies taste the way they are meant to taste, a six-person Whisky Mastery Team, led by Stuart MacPherson and Kirsteen Campbell, is working to make sure that Macallan Whiskies taste the way they should. Female influences are welcome at The Macallan, as whisky experts Sarah Burgess and Polly Logan are also part of the team.
