Macallan 12 Sherry Cask has become a benchmark for scotch. It’s pretty much THE scotch people think about when they think about single-malt. Aromas of dried fruit, candied citrus peel, and oak spice of ginger and nutmeg hover above the glass. Flavors of raisins in ginger syrup, sweet cinnamon, and vanilla please the palate before fading out with well-defined sherry oak.

Macallan 18… well… what can you say about Macallan 18? One of the most gifted single-malts of all time. And, for good reason. Here, the aromas are more elegant, yet more intense, with vanilla, cinnamon, ginger candy, and dried fruit. Soft and rich flavors follow, with hints of spice, clove, orange, and an even deeper expression of mature oak.
