The Macallan calls it a marriage of two worlds, old and new. In terms of flavour variation between the three, generally speaking, European oak will impart more of a tannic, spicy flavour, whereas American oak will impart more vanilla, sweet spice, orchard fruit and citrus. Finally, the Sherry input will contribute the fruitcake character familiar to lovers of these styles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting note:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eReminniscent of the 100% Sherry oak in its distinctive combination of dried fruits, orange spice cake, peel heavy marmalade and light nuttiness... it doesn't have the weight and presence of its twelve year old sibling at 43%, but it's not too far off. There's a trace of sulphur and a splash of vanilla through the finish. In short, it's a decent lighter-styled sherried malt with a reasonable price tag.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e40% Alc.\/Vol.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CWC Online Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46331180777603,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/7782\/2851\/files\/macallan-12yo-double-cask-new-presentation.png?v=1767867282","url":"https:\/\/cwhiskychamber.com\/products\/macallan-12yo-double-cask-700ml-40","provider":"CWC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
