Description
? The Macallan 12 Year Old 110 Proof
This expression is an age-stated, high-strength single malt that combines the traditional 12-year aging with an assertive bottling proof, resulting in a significantly bolder and richer flavour.
Tasting Notes
The increased alcohol content (compared to the standard 40% ABV Macallan 12) intensifies the aromas and flavors, making it a true “sherry bomb” experience.
| Element | Description (Official & Enthusiast Notes) |
| Nose | Loud and rich with classic dried fruits. Aromas of baked figs, sticky dates, plum jam, cherry compote, and a blend of nutmeg and cinnamon with a hint of orange peel. |
| Palate | Full and powerful with an oily texture. Layers of Christmas cake, toffee apple, dark honey, sultanas, clove, and stem ginger. Sweetness is deepened by roasted hazelnut and a touch of dark chocolate/cocoa nibs. |
| Finish | Very long and warming. Notes of treacle toffee, rich sherry sweetness, mocha, and lingering oak spice. The high proof provides a satisfying “kick” and depth that lasts for several minutes. |
What Makes it Special?
For years, Macallan fans have sought an age-stated whisky with a high proof, as most older releases are at 40-43% ABV and their higher-proof “Classic Cut” releases do not have an age statement. The Macallan12 Year Old 110 Proof fills that gap by offering the best of both worlds: a proven age and a powerful strength that fully showcases the quality of their sherry-seasoned oak.
