I have noticed less of a vanilla or toffee nose and more spice. I seem to have noticed this just before the changeover to new packaging.
-
Nice one the aroma and flavor always keep me remembering
-
Macallen 12 taste great! I like a drink that does the job! This does it and is very smoothe!
-
Best Scotch I've ever tasted.
-
Having now tried a wide variety of Scotches, I keep coming back to Macallan 12 as the standard. It’s a classic for a reason. They got it 100% right. Every sip goes through a little journey of flavors and ends with a pleasant bit of fruit taste that sits at the back end. No harshness, no little bit that sticks out as not quite there. It’s my absolute favorite and has a permanent spot in my collection.
-
It’s simply one of the best whiskies I have ever tried in my life. It’s perfect with a dash of cold water only
-
Wet, mossy forest aroma. Sweet, smoky and spicy on the tongue. Very smooth and very good. I'm in love.
-
Some good scotch, taste similar to woodford double oak.
-
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.
-
Magnifico whisky,
-
A little sweet, but amazing whiskey.

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.
