The Macallan 12 Years Old 2025 – 110 Proof 55%
A Macallan classic with considerably more power.
The Macallan 12 Years Old 110 Proof 55% offers a wonderfully intense interpretation of the classic sherry-led Macallan style. Matured for 12 years and bottled at an impressive 55% ABV, this expression combines the elegance and richness associated with The Macallan with considerably greater weight, concentration and warmth.
The whisky has been matured exclusively in carefully selected sherry-seasoned oak casks, allowing the wood to play a defining role in its character. Twelve years of maturation create a beautiful balance between rich dried fruits, warming spices and mature oak, while the higher bottling strength gives these familiar flavours an altogether more powerful dimension.
On the nose, expect an inviting combination of dried fruits, dates and orange, accompanied by cinnamon, ginger and rich oak. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, revealing layers of raisins, dark fruit, warming spice and subtle sweetness. Oak gradually becomes more prominent before leading into a long, rich and warming finish.
At 55% ABV, this is a particularly interesting Macallan for enthusiasts who enjoy experiencing whisky at a higher strength. Enjoyed neat, it delivers impressive intensity and structure, while adding a few drops of water gradually opens the whisky and reveals additional layers of fruit, sweetness and spice.
