- Description
- ABV may not catch the eye at 40.0%, but The Macallan 12 Year Old from the Colour Collection might charm with its 'Sherried' character. Despite the youthful spirit, it combines 'Honey' and 'Vanilla' notes that may appeal to Speyside enthusiasts. At £109.95, some might find its value debatable. Devoid of ratings, its merit is a choice of trust in the Macallan name.
