The Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak

The Macallan750ml43% ABV

The gold standard of Speyside sherry cask maturation

An iconic single malt that delivers a rich, complex character matured exclusively in hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez. The palate is wonderfully robust with hints of dried fruits, warm spices, and a beautifully long, wood-smoke-kissed finish.

The story behind it

The maker

Founded by Alexander Reid in Speyside, Scotland, The Macallan is renowned as one of the world's leading single malt whiskies. The distillery's obsessive dedication to wood sourcing and small, curiously shaped copper pot stills creates an exceptionally rich and full-bodied spirit.

How it is made

The Macallan distillery was established in 1824 overlooking the River Spey in northeast Scotland. This legendary single malt is matured exclusively in hand-selected Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Spain, contributing to its signature deep amber hue and rich complexity.
