Description
The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world. The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask is matured in a combination of American and European sherry-seasoned oak casks, offering a harmonious balance of rich flavor and smooth character. This expression delivers a perfect balance of classic Macallan single malt style from European oak and the unmistakable sweet interlude of American oak.
