Description
The Macallan's Year of the Ox release presents the classic Double Cask profile: naturally coloured, matured in Oloroso sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks for 12 years. This combination yields rich honey, subtle dried fruit, and layers of warming spice characteristic of the distillery's Speyside elegance. The texture is silky and approachable, with a balanced finish that never tips toward excessive sweetness. A celebration-worthy bottle, particularly for those marking Lunar New Year.
