The Macallan Colour Collection 12 Years Old is a stunning expression of the distillery’s mastery over natural color and sherry-seasoned oak maturation. Aged exclusively in American and European oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry, it showcases The Macallan’s hallmark style — rich, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced.
On the nose, it opens with aromas of vanilla, ripe peach, and soft oak, complemented by hints of sultana and warm baking spice. The palate delivers layers of honeyed fruit, creamy toffee, and a delicate interplay of citrus zest with subtle oak tannins. Its finish is smooth, medium-long, and lingering with notes of sweet spice and dried fruit.
Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of Scotland’s most celebrated distilleries, known for its uncompromising commitment to quality and natural color, achieved solely from the cask without any artificial additives. The Colour Collection celebrates the spectrum of rich, natural hues that emerge during maturation, making each bottle both a sensory and visual delight.
