Being someone who is just developing a collection of whiskey/scotch, I just purchased a bottle of Macallan 12. Delightfully smooth start, with a hint of the sherry. A warm finish, with no fire. Of the half dozen bottles in my cache, it is IMO the most pleasant.

The first Macallan i ever tasted,,,& it won't be the last.
A lovely dram, & a unique "Macallan" taste.

I have tasted the Glenlivet 15 year (French Reserve),the Glenffidch 12 year, Johnnine Walker Black, and now Macallan 12 year old! All are vastly distinct in taste,aroma,personality if I may. If i had to choose my personal favorite,I perfer Glenlivet 15 year (French Reserve).... A mature man of taste> Enjoy my friend.

Very nice and easy to drink, lovely sherry sweetness but can't help thinking that it would be better at 46%-48% alc. needs a bit more ooomph on the finish.

I love this, even over the 18, for it's sweet nose

Great sherry nose with plenty of fruitcake and dates. Tastes delicious, rich sherry, dried fruits and subtle malt. The finish is good with a little spice but comes up a bit short. Perhaps not the best sherry cask malt out there these days but still the benchmark against which others should be judged.

I wish they would bring back the sherry oaks on a regular basis.

This whiskey is my second ultimate experience, exceeded only by the 18 year old version

I'm tempted, would you say this is worth the extra money over the Macallan Fine Oak and Sherry Oak expressions?
- Manu, 19th Jul '10
I love this one, the sherry makes it smooth and sweet, a hint of smoke and floure, this is by far my favorite 12 yo I've tasted, I will always keep a bottle of this at the house, and the price is good

A wonderful whisky, but drink it before heading into the peaty and smoky Islay or the powerful Skye. Otherwise its subtlties will go underappreciated. I love The Macallans fullness of flavor.

Neat or the rocks, nothing compares to Macallan! Simply the best. Period!

Save your pennies and beg ,borrow to get your hands on this fine malt. A delicate balance, it will leave you grinning long after your first sip. Just a beautiful experience !
