The Macallan 12 Year Old Triple Cask Special Edition Review
The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 Years Old forms part of their Triple Cask Matured range; a series of single malt whiskies crafted in a triple cask combination of European and American sherry seasoned oak casks and American ex-bourbon oak casks.
We tasted the 12 year old triple cask from Macallan over a couple of weeks to see how it changed. It is a traditional single malt at 40% and definitely needs to breathe before drinking. Either add a touch of water, to offset the tannins and concentrate the fruit flavours, or let it aerate a while, which softens it dramatically.
