Macallan 12Y Double Cask

The Golden Harmony of Speyside.
The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask is a harmonious marriage of American and European oak, combining the distillery’s signature richness with a contemporary smoothness that captivates from the first sip. Matured in sherry-seasoned casks from Jerez, this whisky perfectly balances sweet honeyed notes from American oak with the classic dried fruit and spice of European oak, creating a luxurious, approachable single malt that reflects the heart of The Macallan’s craftsmanship.

On the nose, it reveals butterscotch, vanilla, and candied orange peel, followed by warm layers of sherry spice, oak, and gentle cinnamon. The palate is luscious and rounded, offering flavours of honey, dried fruits, toffee, and soft wood spice. The finish is smooth, long, and beautifully warming — an unmistakable expression of The Macallan’s refined house style.

For whisky lovers in Ireland, the Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask delivers both depth and accessibility, making it an essential bottle for any collection or special occasion.

Why we love it:
We admire the way Macallan 12Y Double Cask marries two worlds of flavour — the sweet vanilla and toffee from American oak with the rich dried fruits and warm spice from European oak. There’s a timeless elegance in every sip, a signature Speyside smoothness that invites both seasoned whisky lovers and newcomers alike. Whether enjoyed slowly in a crystal glass or as the centrepiece of a whisky tasting evening, this bottle captures the true spirit of refinement.
