After 12 years, the "next-generation standard Macallan" has transformed into a deep, beautiful golden color.

"The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old" is a single malt whisky bearing a special name, reflecting The Macallan's emphasis on cask quality more than any other whisky. As the name "Double" suggests, it is aged for a minimum of 12 years in two types of sherry casks: European oak and American oak.

The European oak used in "The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old" is slow to grow, taking about 100 years to harvest, but is characterized by its relatively high tannin content, which imparts flavors of dried fruits such as raisins, spices like ginger, and a deep amber color to the whisky. The other type, American oak, becomes ready for harvest at around 70 years old and is a dense barrel material with tightly packed grain, and the vanilla, lemon, and coconut flavors that appear in Double Cask are imparted by the American oak.

The fusion of these two casks has resulted in a mature flavor that retains the richness characteristic of Macallan, while being smooth, sweet, and refined. It offers aromas of creamy butterscotch, apple candy, and vanilla custard, along with a complex harmony of honey-like sweetness, a hint of spiciness, and citrusy fruitiness. Its excellent balance, along with a sweet and long finish, makes it truly worthy of being called the "next-generation standard Macallan."

From wood selection and quality control to barrel design and barrel making, everything is managed in-house with meticulous attention to detail.

The Macallan believes that 80% of the final color and flavor of its whisky depends on the quality of the barrel. They manage their own forests, and every step of the barrel-making process, from sourcing and processing the wood to toasting and aging, is checked by the skilled eye of a Master of Wood cooper. Only the best barrels are delivered to the whisky-making team. These carefully selected oak barrels are the source of The Macallan's superior quality.


The two casks used for "The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old" are harvested from forests managed by the company, dried for a year as logs, and then dried for up to a year and a half as barrel staves. They are then handcrafted in southern Spain to become sherry casks, where they are filled with a special sherry for approximately 18 months to mature, before the sherry casks are finally complete. Everything from the raw wood to the sherry seasoning is managed in-house, taking about six years and a great deal of effort.


"The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old" is like a special gift from "The Macallan" distillery, which boasts a history of over 190 years and remains an integral part of the beautiful landscape of Speyside in northern Scotland. Enjoy it on the rocks or in a highball, and spend those long winter nights with it.
