Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask


A harmonious single malt with a warm character.
 

DOUBLE CASK

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old forms part of our Double Cask range which marries the classic Macallan style and the unmistakable sweetness of American oak. This is a fully rounded single malt in perfect balance, with flavours of fudge, citrus and soft spice.

DOUBLE CASK BY ERIK MADIGAN HECK

Each expression within our Double Cask collection is a complex sensorial journey, beautifully balanced by European and American Oak, sherry seasoned in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.

Photographer Erik Madigan Heck has presented his visual interpretation of Double Cask 12 Years Old inspired by classic, Flemish still life paintings of the 17th century.

DOUBLE CASK 12 YEARS OLD

Notes of candied lemon citrus and smooth fudge are just two of the defining flavours of The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old.

Looking closely, subtle hints of vanilla can be seen in the still life, with the two-tone purple chiffon fabric a nod to the marriage of American and European oak sherry seasoned casks, the defining feature of the Double Cask collection.
