Our take on the The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Macallan 12 Double Cask is a Highland single malt aged 12 years in a mix of American and European sherry-seasoned oak. The American oak softens the sherry weight, giving honeyed vanilla and citrus over the brand's usual dried fruit and spice. It is the gentlest entry into Macallan's sherry-led range and easier going than the Sherry Oak 12, which is richer and drier. Owners rate it highly for smoothness and balance, though some find it thin next to older or cask-strength malts.

Questions and answers

How does Double Cask differ from Macallan Sherry Oak 12?
Double Cask uses both American and European sherry-seasoned oak, so it is softer and more honeyed. Sherry Oak 12 is aged only in European sherry-seasoned oak and tastes richer and drier.
Is it peated?
No. It is an unpeated Highland single malt, so there is no smoke; the flavor comes from the sherry-seasoned casks.
What does it taste like?
Expect honey, vanilla and citrus from the American oak, with dried fruit, ginger and light spice from the European oak, and a warm, medium finish.
How should I serve it?
Neat or with a few drops of water to open the honey and citrus. It also works in a whisky highball.
Is it a good gift?
Yes. The Macallan name and the 12-year age statement make it a safe gift for whisky drinkers, and the boxed bottle presents well.
How strong is it?
It is bottled at 40% ABV, the standard strength for Macallan's core 12-year expressions.
