THE MACALLAN 12 YR OLD DOUBLE CASK

Country of Origin: Scotland (Speyside Region).
Alcohol Volume (ABV): Typically bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), though a 43% ABV version is also available in certain markets.
Sugar Content: Contains 0 g/L of residual sugar.
Pairing Recommendations:
The whisky’s creamy butterscotch and citrus notes pair excellently with rich, fatty, or lightly spiced foods.
Cheese: Rich, mellow sheep's milk cheeses like Young Manchego or Pecorino cut through the spice while enhancing the honey and vanilla notes.
Savory Dishes: Roasted poultry, glazed ham, or smoked salmon mousse (especially when served as a highball) complement its oily texture.
Desserts: Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), caramelized nuts, or vanilla custard highlight the toffee and raisin flavors.
Mixing Recommendations:
While often enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this expression is versatile for cocktails that emphasize its honeyed profile.
The Macallan Old Fashioned: Mix 50ml of Double Cask 12 with a sugar cube, two dashes of orange bitters, and an orange twist for a classic serve.
Pasa Doble: A signature twist on the Old Fashioned using Amontillado sherry, maple syrup, and a pinch of smoked salt to accentuate the wood notes.
Whisky Mule: Combine 40ml of whisky with pineapple cordial, lemon juice, and ginger beer, garnished with red chilli for a spicy, refreshing long drink.
The Manhattan: Stir 50ml of whisky with 25ml of sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters for a deeper, fruit-forward cocktail.
