Macallan Double Cask Lunar New Year 12 Year Old 700ml
The perfect partnership of Oloroso sherry seasoned American and European oak casks creates the distinctive, warm character of this harmonious single malt. Our skilled whisky making team optimise the right mix of European and American sherry seasoned oak casks to allow the delicate and indulgent flavours of American oak to take centre stage while the more traditional Macallancharacteristics of rich fruits, sherry and wood spice provide a reassuringly familiar backdrop.
Behold, a limited edition twin pack of The Macallan Double Cask Lunar 12 Year Old Triple Cask, released to celebrate Chinese New Year 2020, the Year of the Rat! The whisky itself is drawn from a combination of European sherry seasoned casks, American sherry seasoned casks and American ex-bourbon casks. Housing two bottles of the Macallan 12 Year Old Triple Cask, the ornate packaging was inspired by decorative knots which represent longevity.
Sip or mix this single malt, aged in American and European ex-sherry barrels. Mellow honey and smooth, nutty flavors taper off into a long fade that shows vanilla, citrus, sweet spices and a hint of cocoa.
Nose: Gingerbread, vanilla essence, wafts of buttered toast and clotted-cream-topped scones.
Palate: Raisins, sultanas and stem ginger. Citrus begins to develop on the palate, with a touch of dark chocolate.
Finish: Subtle cedar and honey linger on the palate.
The Macallan Double Cask Lunar 12 Years Old forms part of our Double Cask range which marries the classic Macallan style and the unmistakable sweetness of American oak. This is a fully rounded single malt in perfect balance, with flavors of honey, citrus and ginger. Color of Harvest Sun. Nose creamy butterscotch with a hint of toffee apple, candied orange, vanilla custard and newly felled oak. Deliciously honeyed, wood spices and citrus, balanced with raisins and caramel. Oak lingers, warm, sweet and drying.
