The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year has returned to Canada for the first time in what seems like a decade. It is limited, and it might be a while until we see it again. Matured exclusively in hand-picked, sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. 43%. It has also taken our Scotch Guy by surprise, exceeding his expectations.
Producer Description
"The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old forms part of our Sherry Oak range which features a series of single malt whiskies matured exclusively in hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez for richness and complexity. A matured character, the 12 Years Old delivers rich wood spice and dried fruits and a natural rich gold colour."
750 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: nutty with Werther's Originals, charred oak, and fresh-cut cedar; dark chocolate and espresso beans; fig jam and maple syrup; soft new leather gloves and fruity cigar tobacco; candied nuts: peanuts, cashews, and walnuts.
Palate: big, rich, and nutty with dark fruits, leather, and tobacco; moving towards Christmas cake with more Werther's Original; licorice Jujubes, fig jam, and quince paste; more candied nuts, leather, and tobacco; toasted oak and burnt cedar; delicate, but decadent spice.
Finish: long, soft, and elegant; fruity, nutty, and spicy with loads of toasted oak.
Comment: I'm surprised and impressed by how decent this is; it is a tad pricey, but it is just a 12 year old, and it has good complexity at that; I have to admit it has more than surpassed my expectations; well done Macallan, you've got my attention!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: complex with hints of vanilla.
Palate: smooth, medium balanced with fruit, oak and spice.
Finish: long with sweet dried fruits, oak and spice.

The 2024 Macallan A Night on Earth release is In Jerez. Jerez is the city at the heart of the sherry industry... or at least the sherry seasoning industry! Bottled at 43%, this NAS Macallan was matured in Sherry Seasoned Oak Casks.
Producer Description
"A Night on Earth in Jerez is inspired by New Year’s Eve in the home of Sherry wine, Jerez de la Frontera. Here, the celebration goes by a different name – Nochevieja, the “Old Night” – and is full of meaning and tradition. This limited-edition release is matured in exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks, and evokes the nostalgic flavours of home to make it the perfect gift for someone you love.
"The Macallan has collaborated with Jerez-born artist, María Melero, to create the designs that can be enjoyed during the unique unboxing experience of A Night on Earth. María has used her fondest memories of New Year in her home city. Starting with a crimson sky over vineyards of sherry grape vines; progressing into María’s city home, represented by the azulejos (traditional Jerez wall tiles); and finally reaching gold-toned grapes to represent the sherry wine that will one day season the Macallan casks."

The 5th release in the Macallan Harmony Collection was bottled at 43.9% after maturing in Sherry and Bourbon casks.
Producer Description
"An exquisite single malt whisky matured in a combination of sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, with a subtle inclusion of casks that previously held bourbon. This whisky is inspired by JING's Phoenix Honey Orchid, a complex tea with lush dessert wine aromas and exotic fruit notes.
"Predominantly matured in sherry seasoned American oak casks, the whisky has drawn fruity and floral flavours, beautifully balanced by the inclusion of sherry seasoned European oak, which offers a pleasing roasted richness and a touch of astringency. The subtle inclusion of casks that previously held bourbon adds a final sweetness, emulating the dessert wine aromas found in this tea that inspires this single malt."
