The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 Years Old is a Speyside single malt Scotch made at The Macallan Distillery in Craigellachie. It is matured in European sherry seasoned oak, American sherry seasoned oak and American ex-bourbon oak casks. It is bottled at 40% ABV in most markets and sells for around $60 to $90.
The entry level 12 year old offers a relatively light, zesty nose, with citrus fruit, vanilla, and ginger, while the palate yields more citrus fruit and vanilla, honey, sweet oak, and dark chocolate. Cantaloupe and wood spice in the finish.
Middle of the road once again, with some sweeter notes and dry notes, but also some sherry flavors and ex-bourbon flavors. Raisins and hints of warm spice like cinnamon, some dark berries, but also a bit of vanilla and mild oak.
