The Macallan 12-Year-Old Sherry Oak is a rich and full-bodied single malt, matured exclusively in hand-picked Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. This ageing process imparts deep fruitiness, warm spice, and a luxurious smoothness, making it one of the most revered sherried whiskies. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is known for its elegant balance of dried fruit, oak, and spice.
Nose: Aromas of rich dried fruits, sultanas, vanilla, and warm oak spice, with hints of ginger and chocolate.
Palate: Smooth and velvety, featuring flavours of dark chocolate, sherried raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel, balanced by sweet oak and citrus zest.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering spiced oak, dried fruit, and a touch of cocoa.
The Macallan 12’s deep sherry richness, spice, and smooth character pair best with a medium-to-full-bodied cigar that has earthy, cocoa, and nutty notes to complement the whisky’s sherried profile.
Arturo Fuente Opus X – A full-bodied cigar with cedar, leather, and dark chocolate, complementing the whisky’s spice and dried fruit notes.
Padron 1926 Series Maduro – A rich, full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar with espresso, dark cocoa, and pepper, enhancing the whisky’s sherried sweetness.
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 – A medium-bodied Cuban cigar with toasted almonds, creamy spice, and soft floral notes, balancing the whisky’s oak and raisin flavours.
