The whisky inside follows the traditional sherry-only cask policy: aged at least 12 years in sherry-seasoned Spanish oak from Jerez for the rich dried fruit, spice, and chocolate character that built The Macallan's reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit, vanilla, and ginger with a trace of wood smoke\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and full-bodied — sherry sweetness, baking spice, and dark chocolate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warming, with lingering oak and sherry fruit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Macallan, Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Sherry Oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sherry-seasoned Spanish (Jerez) oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-2018 bottling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50ml miniature\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-macallan\"\u003eMacallan collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy is a pre-2018 bottling notable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Before 2018, the Macallan 12 Year was a single Sherry Oak expression.
