Oh this be a wonderful scotch. When the bottle is empty, your eyes will tear up. The smoky sweetness lingers very pleasantly (especially if you have a moustache) ;)
-
The nose on Macallan 12 smells like a band aid with hints of sulfure. However, the palate is viscous, deep, and rich just like a fine red wine with a steak.
-
An excellent 12 year. My preference for a libation.
-
Wonderful aroma and taste

Simply the best 12 year old scotch you can buy. I love trying all different scotchs and I keep coming back to this one as the gold standard. The less people drink sherry, the more rare this will become. I forget how good it is, then I get a bottle for Christmas and fall in love all over again. I also got the double cask strength one and the 12 year old regular one is miles better. Absolutely brilliant!

I included this one in a lineup of scotches to sample as a newbie. It has emerged as one that will have a place in my cabinet representing the sherried end of the spectrum. I also like that just about any decent restaurant or bar will have it.

Probably the best Whiskey of this age you can buy. Absolute quality.

GREAT wiskey...wow..!!

For me, the eternal beginner, because I feel what I feel without knowing or distinguishing the flavours. But one thing I know, what is good for me. I feel this is a quality malt whisky, sophisticated and refined. reminds me somehow glengoyne 21 as happened with the Macallan 12 Fine Oak that reminds me the glengoyne 12. This Macallan 12 Sherry Cask is sweet, complex, medium to long finish with reminiscence of bourbon, good malt flavour. And also is too expensive for me. I still prefer Glengoyne, for my taste has open flavours while refined and sophisticated too and less expensive.

Limited as compared to 12 year with double casks.
-
Had a mini ... wish it was full size bottle! Liked it very much.
-
I tried the Macallan 12 last night for the first time and it was too sweet for my liking
-
excellent dram, buy it you won't regret it.
-
Got mini to try. So good, will get a full size!
-
The smoothest 12yr old scotch with I've tried with dept
-
Simply one of the finest Single Malts @ this price point. Drinks like one that's much pricier. The Sherry takes a backseat to a subtle sweetness and dark fruits. Slight spice and oak round out the experience. Top notch!
-
Very smooth, vanilla & sherry sweetness with a bit of wood smoke. Good one.
-
A little pricy, but worth it. Very smooth. The sherry influence is wonderful. Nice medium length finish.
