The Macallan 12 Year Old Colour Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

The Colour Collection 12 Years Old presents a single malt whisky which has been matured in American oak casks, harmoniously complemented with a subtle inclusion from European oak.

The Collection is a celebration of The Macallan's commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning.

The oak casks used for The Macallan Colour Collection 12 Years Old are seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The youngest whisky in the Collection and the age statement with the lightest Natural Colour, this exceptional single malt exhibits a golden oak hue, with tasting notes of sweet oak, lemon and vanilla.

With lemon yellow, drips of chalky white, albero and teja , and a branch from a sherry grapevine, we are transported to the strikingly pale terroir of Jerez de la Frontera.

We collaborated with Artist and Graphic Designer, David Carson for The Colour Collection. He used albariza soil as a medium, applying it to the paper as if it were paint. Beside the 12 Years Old, we see Easter Elchies House, an emblem of the Spiritual Home of The Macallan in Speyside, Scotland.
