"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. 

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Golden oak.

Nose: Sweet oak, lemon peel with vanilla biscuits and pear.

Palate: Syrup sponge with citrus curd, orchard fruits and a hint of nutmeg.

Finish: Medium with sweet oak and citrus peel."
