Macallan 12 Sherry Oak (Old Packaging): A Whiskey Classic with Soul
A true classic from the heart of Speyside
The Macallan 12 Years Old Sherry Oak (Old Packaging) is not just a whisky – it is a living piece of Scottish heritage. In its original packaging, this edition stands as an icon of single malt, much loved for its authentic style and refined flavour profile.
Barrel-aged exclusively in European sherry casks from Jerez, Spain, it delivers a depth of richness that can otherwise be difficult to find among newer versions.
Aroma – Scent of rich tradition
When you pour Macallan 12 Sherry Oak into the glass, you are greeted by a powerful yet balanced aroma profile. Dried fruit takes center stage – raisins, figs and dates – followed by aromatic sherry-aged oak, orange peel and hints of vanilla and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
It's a nose that offers depth and warmth – and completes the feeling of traditional Scottish craftsmanship.
Taste – Silky power and harmony
On the tongue, the whisky unfolds with a soft, almost creamy texture. The palate opens with dark chocolate and ripe cherries before developing into toasted oak, honey-glazed nuts and classic sherry notes.
A round and rich middle carries notes of cinnamon and clove, creating a harmonious depth and complexity. This is Speyside at its best – Macallan at its most beautiful.
Finish – Long-lasting elegance
The aftertaste is lingering and wonderfully balanced. Warm notes of spicy oak, dried fruit and a touch of cocoa powder linger long after the last drop – a finish that makes an impression.
A collector's item in a special class
This edition, with the iconic old packaging, has gone out of production – and that is precisely why it has become the subject of massive interest among collectors. Not only does the whisky have a classic flavour profile that many believe surpasses newer releases; the bottle is also an investment in Macallan history.
