The Macallan 12 Years Triple Cask

A delicately complex single malt, matured in a trio of casks: European sherry oak, American sherry oak, and American bourbon oak. This refined maturation gives the whisky a vibrant character and silky smooth finish.

This expression was formerly known as “Fine Oak,” and it lives up to that name with elegance and finesse. It’s lighter than the classic sherry-heavy Macallan, yet still rich in flavour and depth.

The nose opens fresh and floral, with citrus peel, green apple, and vanilla. Soft oak, nutmeg, and a hint of chocolate round it out beautifully.

On the palate, it’s silky and bright. Flavours of honey, melon, and tropical fruit lead, followed by subtle spice, coconut, and gentle oak. The bourbon influence brings lightness, while the sherry casks add delicate sweetness.

There’s a balanced interplay between freshness and warmth. No element dominates, which makes this expression especially easy to enjoy and endlessly sippable. The finish is clean, medium in length, and pleasantly dry. Notes of toasted almond, soft oak, and lingering vanilla make for a graceful exit.

The Macallan 12 Years Triple Cask is perfect for those who love a lighter, more nuanced whisky. It’s sophisticated, refreshing, and true to Macallan’s meticulous craftsmanship.
