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 venerable 15-Year-Old from GlenAllachie has received an updated label which no longer looks like it came from the town of Bedrock as designed by a modern stone-age family. The new label hosts more readable fonts and a baby blue background.
First launched in 2019, The GlenAllachie 15 is said to be the "jewel in their crown" for the distillery. Bottled at 46%, the whisky was finished in puncheons and hogsheads that previously held Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry.
Producer Description
"This spectacular Scotch whisky embodies our unwavering dedication to obtaining Sherry wood of the highest standard. A watchful eye throughout the maturation journey ensures the whisky is bottled at its optimum."

Better than Macallan? Many believe so, including quite a few of our whisky staff and customers. This sherry bomb of a whisky was matured exclusively in Sherry Seasoned casks, both American and European oak, and has been bottled at 46% after maturing in dunnage warehouses.
