A very nice offering from Macallan. Very complex from the nose to the finish. Lots of sherry, fig, raisin, and oak from the first sniff, to the palate, and on through the long finish. This whisky is full bodied, rich, creamy, and warming. I would definitely add this to my collection.

Boa densidade e evidência das notas esperadas de um Macallan. Excelente
Una malta muy bien lograda de Macallan, plena de elegancia y de geometría redonda, apropiada para celebraciones grupales, en las que el espirituoso elegido debe caer bien a todo paladar. Sí bien no aporta nada extraordinario a los sentidos, se valora el buen trabajo del "master distiller".
Liviano en nariz, notas cremosas a mantequilla y masmelo, en presencia del agua sobresale la vainilla y frutos maduros, mejorando mucho el bouquet.
Notas a madera, melaza y vino tinto seco. En boca al contacto con agua adquiere mucho cuerpo y balance, adicionando notas a cuero.
Final aparentemente corto que va adquiriendo cuerpo y alarga su duración, notas a uvas pasas. Las notas a especies surgen en el paladar cuando finaliza, cerrando su recorrido en una geometría ovalada.
Sweet on the nose, taste is good, very rich and caramel, bit sharp. Aftertase is amazing, rich and sweet. One of the best whiskeys ever had.
Tasted at birth of my 1st. child. A bit disappointed, expected much more but a good one, far from best. Date 10.6.'20, edited 12.9.'21. One of the best I have to write. Absolutely distinctivefrom others. Sorry that It's now off my budget.

Great sherry whisky.
Delicate sherry, then red fruits on the nose.
Not strong arrival, almost flat, but tastes keep coming. Probably it needs time to be understood. In fact when the glass is empty, the spice shows up in the mouth.
great for intro to scotch
Classic
MacAllan dont make a "bad" scotch. This is beautiful.
Smooth easy drinking, neat or a gentle touch of ice or water.
Amazing.
sweet toffee flavours over a slightly spicy taste.
Nice
classic speyside, easy drinking
Strong. Smells sweet and oakish but not as sweet on pallet.
Macallan has always been reliable, with good balance of bouquet and strength
very smooth taste. cherries light burn at end
it is SO Sherry heavy. the original 12 is a sherry bomb to begin with, but this one is a little too far for my taste. tons of raisin, apricot, plum, and a tracle/toffee sweetness. if you're a sweet whisky lover, give it a try.
Passt schoo
Sherry and oak..honey and sweet
Der beste 12 jährige Sherry Whisky den ich kenne. Leider nur preislich angemessen im Angebot (bei ca. 50€). Schöner runder Sherry Geschmack bei nur 40%. Das muß einer erstmal nachmachen. Wer ihn grundsätzlich zu teuer findet, der wird bei dem 12er Glendronach fündig werden.
Spiced apples and pears on the nose, fading into homey after a while. Barest hint of smoke with a bit of salt. Taste of flowers and apricot on palate with a slight savory hint of puff pastry in the background, with cinnamon coming through after a while on the tongue. A large helping of petrol-like flavours settles immediately before the swallow, fading into faintly medicinal notes and loose leaf tea on the tongue in the finish. A surprising splash of boiled Job's tears emerges on the immediate finish after a few swallows.
Sherry and the spice really comes through. Great whisky
Hmm. Expected more but got less. Hints of oak, sherry, smoke, honey, caramel, salt and bitterness at the finish but still a comfortable choice. Better with a dash of water.
strong flavors. Lots of Sherry. Some oak as well.
A bit Sharp.
good
Really nice whisky with lots of sherry.
easy smooth dram. obviously lots of sherry. great daily drinker
Bom single malt. Aroma com vanila, canela, maçã. Sabor equilibrado, barril no entorno, especiarias, bom final. Sem muita complexidade. No todo um agradável Scotch. Cheers!
So finally a Macallan dram hits my glas.
The Macallan 12 sherry oak it is. Sadly I wasn't able to get my hands on a 43%, so this 40% will have to do.
On the nose, as expected you get heavy sherry. A sweet heavy sherry with vanilla and honey but also marmelade and cranberrie.
No alcohol is detectable.
In the back some cloves, ginger and a hint of fresh tobacco.
The tasting is sherry smooth with lots of dried fruits and oaky spice. A hint of menthol and sage. Soft tannins are also coming trough.
The long and powerful finish is pleasant.
There is not much wrong with this dram, but stil i am dissapointed.
A feeling like: is this all the mighty Macallan has to offer?
All I have to offer for this Macallan is 80 points.
There are a lot of better priced sherry bombs out there.
Really enjoyed this, one of my favourites.
Sweet and smooth sherry whisky. It's nice but too expensive. For less money you can get older, more interesting and complex whiskies.. so meh.
my everyday drinking whiskey
Full of sherry. Significant caramel. Feels bit unbalanced bit still good.
Sherry is overwelming. Too sweet for a whiskey
Welcoming
Sherry, Carmel, Vanilla, rich
