Since the 12 Double Cask’s flavours lean towards the sweeter side, it goes well with a variety of food. Triple cask whiskeys typically have more complex flavour profiles, having undergone an additional course of maturation from double cask whiskeys. The Macallan 12 Double Cask is aged in sherry-seasoned oak barrels, while the Triple Cask is aged additionally in ex-bourbon casks. Macallan was founded on a plateau above the river Spey in North East Scotland in 1824, and quality has been at the centre of the brand ever since. The Macallan was in fact one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed, and since then the brand has built a reputation as one of the world's leading single malt whisky makers. The distillery is surrounded by a 485-acre estate, and the whisky really captures the atmosphere of the beautiful Scottish landscape and history of creating world-renowned whiskies. Macallan whisky derives its iconic colour from the wooden casks in which it aged. Each tree used to make the casks will impart a slightly different flavour, making the individual bottles of Macallan whisky truly unique.First, barley grains undergo the malting process to activate enzymes needed for fermentation. The Macallan uses Minstrel barley grown in their distillery’s estate to ensure the highest quality grains.

The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask has a golden colour that resembles the glow of evening sun. The nose has caramelised apple, candied orange, butterscotch, ginger, and a hint of gentle spices. Dubbed the “best 12-year-old single malt” by whiskey connoisseur Paul Pacult, the 12 Double Cask has no doubt made a name for itself. Its accolades include: With up to 80% of the quality of Macallan's end product being down to the wood that the cask is made out, the brand takes the time to source the right materials. By working with a company in Spain, choosing the right oak trees, and creating casks out of them, the flavour of the Macallan whisky is created.
