Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak

General description

Boa densidade e evidência das notas esperadas de um Macallan. Excelente

General description

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".

Nose

Liviano en nariz, notas cremosas a mantequilla y masmelo, en presencia del agua sobresale la vainilla y frutos maduros, mejorando mucho el bouquet.

Palate

Notas a madera, melaza y vino tinto seco. En boca al contacto con agua adquiere mucho cuerpo y balance, adicionando notas a cuero.

Finish

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.

General description

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.

Great sherry whisky.

General description

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.

General description

great for intro to scotch

General description

Classic

General description

MacAllan dont make a "bad" scotch. This is beautiful.
Smooth easy drinking, neat or a gentle touch of ice or water.

General description

Amazing.

General description

sweet toffee flavours over a slightly spicy taste.

General description

Nice

General description

classic speyside, easy drinking

General description

Strong. Smells sweet and oakish but not as sweet on pallet.

General description

Macallan has always been reliable, with good balance of bouquet and strength

General description

very smooth taste. cherries light burn at end

General description

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

General description

Sherry and oak..honey and sweet

General description

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.

General description

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.

General description

Sherry and the spice really comes through. Great whisky

General description

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.

General description

strong flavors. Lots of Sherry. Some oak as well.
A bit Sharp.

General description

good

General description

Really nice whisky with lots of sherry.

General description

easy smooth dram. obviously lots of sherry. great daily drinker

General description

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!

General description

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.

General description

Really enjoyed this, one of my favourites.

General description

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.

General description

my everyday drinking whiskey

General description

Full of sherry. Significant caramel. Feels bit unbalanced bit still good.

General description

Sherry is overwelming. Too sweet for a whiskey

General description

Welcoming
