The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year Old 110 Proof

This single malt Scotch whisky originates from Scotland, produced in the Speyside region. Crafted at The Macallan Distillery in Craigellachie, the Sherry Oak range is legendary for its exclusive maturation in hand-selected Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. While the core 12-Year-Old Sherry Oak is traditionally bottled at 40% or 43% ABV, high-proof and barrel-strength releases (such as distillery-exclusive cask strength bottlings and the iconic Cask Strength series) showcase this classic 12-year sherry maturation profile at a commanding 110 Proof (55% ABV).

Spirit Description

This single malt presents a deep, dark walnut and rich mahogany hue in the glass. The nose is intense, rich, and full-bodied, opening with concentrated aromas of dried fruits, dark raisins, sultanas, and polished oak, layered with notes of dark chocolate, clove, and ginger spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and viscous, delivering a powerful burst of rich fruitcake, dark molasses, dried figs, and orange oil, balanced by firm oak tannins, espresso, and warming nutmeg. The finish is long, intense, and robust, leaving a lingering warmth of dried fruit, spicy oak, and dark cocoa. Bottled at 55% ABV (110 Proof) without dilution, it exhibits raw intensity, deep concentration, and uncompromised sherry cask depth.
