Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Bright golden straw; the lightest of all Macallan 12yo expressions
Nose
Light, fresh, and citrus-forward. Lemon, vanilla, fresh-cut apple, and delicate floral notes. Honey and light toffee with subtle oak. The bourbon cask influence adds brightness and freshness
Palate
Light to medium body. Citrus (lemon, lime), vanilla, honey, and fresh apple. Gentle toffee and light dried fruit. Most approachable of the Macallan range — clean, bright, easy-drinking. Gentle oak spice
Finish
Medium finish. Clean and fresh with lingering citrus, vanilla, and light honey. Dries gently with subtle oak. Less sherry-forward than other Macallan expressions
