It is distilled at Easter Elchies on The Macallan's 485-acre Speyside estate, home to the distillery since Alexander Reid took out the first license in 1824. Two details set the house apart: The Macallan runs curiously small copper stills that concentrate a rich, weighty spirit, and it colors its whisky entirely from the cask — no added coloring — so the deep mahogany hue here comes straight from the sherry oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, sticky dates, cherry compote, cinnamon, cacao nib, and dried orange peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, rich oak gives way to sultana, stem ginger, star anise, mandarin, and dark-chocolate-coated espresso bean, the higher proof pushing everything deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is long and warming, closing on treacle toffee, mocha, and sweet cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the standard Sherry Oak 12 is polished and easygoing, this 110-proof version trades approachability for concentration — the extra 12 points of ABV amplify the dried-fruit and spice signature that made the Sherry Oak line famous, making it the pour to reach for when the regular 12 feels too gentle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a Glencairn, adding a few drops of water to open the sherry sweetness; it stands up beautifully to a square of dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this whisky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 12-year-old Speyside single malt matured entirely in sherry-seasoned oak and bottled at cask-strength 110 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 years old, 55% ABV \/ 110 proof, 750mL, matured in European-style sherry-seasoned oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDates, cherry, and dried orange on the nose lead to sultana, ginger, and dark chocolate on the palate, finishing on treacle toffee and sweet cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should you enjoy it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeat in a Glencairn with a few drops of water to open up the sherry character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this release notable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt takes the celebrated Sherry Oak 12 recipe and bottles it at 110 proof, delivering the same maturation with markedly deeper cask intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Macallan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50060207980792,"sku":"19244","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/the-macallan-sherry-oak-12-year-110-proof-scotch-whisky-750ml-keg-n-bottle-5875077.png?v=1785086138","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/the-macallan-sherry-oak-12-year-110-proof-scotch-whisky-750ml","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
