The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Review
This is a rich single malt with an incredibly approachable profile. A marriage of whiskies aged in sherry-seasoned American and European oak barrels, it delivers toasted nuts, dried fruits, and leather on the nose, followed by vanilla, pepper, and candied ginger on the palate. The honeyed sweetness that runs throughout will satisfy all whisk(e)y drinkers, not just Scotch aficionados.
