SCOTLAND : SPEYSIDEMalted BarleyLIGHT-MED BODIED, HONEY, DRIED APRICOT, GINGER, VANILLA FUDGEMacallan has distilled on Easter Elchies Estate along the River Spey since 1824. The house philosophy centers on wood — up to 80% of the final flavor attributed to cask alone — and the Double Cask makes that argument directly: Oloroso sherry-seasoned American oak for vanilla warmth and lighter sweetness, European oak for the darker dried-fruit backbone more traditional to Macallan's Sherry Oak range.The 12 sits between those two character types — less sherried than the classic Sherry Oak, more fruit-forward than you'd expect from a malt of this reputation. Mellow in structure, it's the expression that converts bourbon drinkers and rewards Scotch newcomers.

Color of light black tea. Nose of oak, fermented grains, ripe fruits, and aldehyde. Taste is super oaky and woody, with sweet vanilla, caramel, a bit spice , orange zest, cinnamon, and flowering note. Aftertaste of flowering and honey note, a bit spice, and some more oak. Pretty straightforward and decent.
