The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years: tradition, innovation and new image
The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years is a single malt whisky that reflects the essence of the Scottish distillery in a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. This Speyside classic stands out for its maturation in American and European oak casks that previously contained sherry, a method that imparts unique nuances both in the sensory profile and in the brand identity.
At Licorea, we know that our clients look for more than just a simple spirit. That is why this The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years now comes with a new image developed by graphic designer David Carson, offering a renewed and sophisticated approach without losing the unmistakable character of the Scottish house.
A single malt whisky with the Speyside hallmark
The production process of The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years begins with the selection of quality barley and slow distillation in small copper stills, something characteristic of the distillery. The young spirit then rests in European and American oak casks seasoned with sherry. This combination of woods gives it a complexity that can be perceived in its natural colour and aromatic nuances.
The balance between sweetness and spice is the result of this dual wood origin. American oak adds smoothness, notes of vanilla and honey, while European oak provides body, spice and greater structure. The union of both worlds makes this whisky an essential reference among Scottish single malts.
New image: design and identity
The presentation of this The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years has been redesigned with an innovative approach. The collaboration with David Carson has resulted in a bottle inspired by the architecture of The Macallan distillery, renowned for its green undulating roof blending with the natural Scottish landscape.
Among the most notable elements of the new design are:
- A series of horizontal diamonds on the label links the current collections with earlier editions, while evoking the famous Sherry Triangle in Spain — a key element in the ageing of the brand’s whiskies.
- Informative back labels incorporating a new symbol to identify the types of cask and the contribution of each to flavour and aroma.
- Advanced security technology with improved traceability and protection against counterfeiting, providing greater confidence to collectors and whisky enthusiasts.
