The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Triple Cask Matured range, which includes the Macallan 12 Triple Cask Matured, is a collection of single malt whiskies made in a triple cask combination of American ex-bourbon oak casks and European and American sherry seasoned oak casks. This intricate blend of oak barrels produces a remarkably smooth and delicate flavor that is bursting with fresh oak, vanilla, and citrus fruits.

The three spirits that make up this Macallan Triple Cask were each aged separately in American sherry-seasoned oak casks, European sherry-seasoned oak casks, and American ex-bourbon oak casks. This complex blend of barrels is expertly and beautifully blended to create this vivid single malt after the mature spirit has been matured for 12 years.

It offers the same incredibly smooth, delicate, yet complex taste that was previously known as the Fine Oak 12-Year-Old. This reflects the high caliber of their whiskies and the superb workmanship of the Macallan Masters.

Notes on Tasting

Complex, with notes of lemon zest, melon, and vanilla in the nose. Lightly toasted oak, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon citrus make up the medium-balanced taste. Melon, papaya, fresh oak, and oak spice linger in the finish.

Concerning The Macallan scotch whisky

For more than three centuries, The Macallan has called the Easter Elchies House, perched on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, their spiritual home. Alexander Reid founded the first authorized distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an old church that had been destroyed by fire in the fifteenth century, and planted barley in the fields around the rental house in 1820. Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains during the sluggish winter days to create whiskey, which was frequently consumed straight from the still or sold to tourists who were passing through the town.

Currently, 95 of the 370 acres of the Macallan Estate are used for the production of Minstrel barley (an acre yields around 2.5 tons of barley year, which is sufficient to make 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). To produce a rich and fatty whisky, the distillery also enters into agreements with farmers to buy barley that is high in starch and low in nitrogen.

The barley is malted and mashed in one of The Macallan’s two mash tuns, which takes four to eight hours after harvest. Following fermentation with a specially cultivated yeast, the barley is twice distilled using copper-pot stills at The Macallan. The stills’ copper serves as a catalyst, promoting the production of delicious esters while reducing contaminants like sulfur.

Furthermore, production manager Alexander Tweedie claims that the oddly tiny stills, which are among “the smallest stills within the Scotch whisky industry,” yield a whisky with a rich, greasy flavor. After distillation, the Macallan distillers separate the whisky’s heads and tails and reserve around 16% of the spirit to put into maturation casks. This “cut,” one of the highest of any Scottish distillery, makes the whisky richer and fuller.

Concerning Scotch

The most widely consumed whisky worldwide, Scotch is regarded as the best of all of them! Each of Scotland’s five whiskey regions—six if you include the unofficially recognized Islands—produces spirits with special qualities and distinctive flavors. (The type of scotch is determined by the type of grain used.)

Grain whisky employs other grains, such as corn or wheat, while malt whisky is manufactured from malted barley. A single distillery producing a single malt whisky produces an exceptional product known as a single malt, but most whiskies are blended from various distilleries, hence the term blended Macallan 15 triple cask price scotch.
