The Macallan Double Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old
In stock
The perfect partnership of Oloroso Sherry seasoned American and European oak casks creates the distinctive, warm character of this harmonious Single Malt. The exceptionally skilled Macallan Whisky Making Team optimise the right mix of European and American Sherry seasoned oak casks to allow the delicate and indulgent flavours of American oak to take centre stage while the more traditional Macallan characteristics of rich fruits, sherry and wood spice provide a reassuringly familiar backdrop.
On the nose there are rich aromas of milky mocha, praline, dried fruit and butterscotch. The mocha and praline notes continue on the palate, along with creamy chocolate, orange fondant, honey, marmalade and danish pasties. More creamy mocha on the finish, with vanilla cream, nutty notes and sultana bread.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich golden-amber with sunlit copper highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Milky mocha, praline, dried fruit and butterscotch rise from the glass, a creamy, indulgent nose that hints at Sherry-seasoned oak and warm, sweet richness.
Palate
Mocha and praline lead the palate, yielding creamy chocolate, orange fondant and honeyed marmalade with wisps of Danish pastry. Vanilla cream and nutty notes mingle as the oak sweetness persists, leaving a final kiss of mocha and sultana bread.
Finish
On the finish, creamy mocha persists with a silky veil of vanilla cream. Nutty notes and a hint of sultana bread linger, carried by a soft sherry-spice warmth. The sweetness unfolds slowly, leaving a velvet, dessert-like echo that recalls the Macallan’s oak and sherry-softened elegance.
