How this product is made
The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 Year Old is crafted using the same traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The whisky-making process starts with the careful selection of the finest barley, which is malted and mashed to create a sugary liquid known as “wort.” The wort is then fermented with yeast to produce a liquid called “wash.”
The wash is distilled twice in copper pot stills, where the alcohol is separated from the impurities to create a clear and pure spirit called “new make.”
The new make is then transferred into oak casks for aging. The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 Year Old is aged in three different types of oak casks:
European Sherry-Seasoned Oak Casks: These oak casks previously held sherry from Spain, infusing the whisky with rich and dried fruit flavors.
American Sherry-Seasoned Oak Casks: These oak casks also previously held sherry, but from the United States. They contribute additional layers of sweetness and complexity to the whisky.
American Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks: These oak casks were previously used to age bourbon, imparting vanilla and citrus notes to the whisky.
The combination of three cask types allows the whisky to develop a wide range of flavors and aromas, resulting in a multi-dimensional and harmonious character.”
