The Macallan 12 Years Double Cask 50ml

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old forms part of the Double Cask range which marries the classic Macallan style and the unmistakable sweetness of American oak. the initial aroma is sweetish winey and oaky; aeration allows the aroma to expand to include marzipan treacle molasses honey vanilla bean cinnamon and cocoa butter. The palate entry is sweet creamy and assertive; at midpalate the flavor becomes intensely nutty buttery and bacon fat-like with the beginnings of rancio. 43% abv ranked #17 in whisky advocates top 20 whiskies of 2017
