The Macallan 12 Years Old Colour Collection 40% vol. 0.7 l is an exclusive single malt Scotch whisky that impressively embodies The Macallan’s long-standing philosophy centred on natural colour and the art of sherry cask maturation. As the latest release in the Colour Collection, this whisky has been matured for 12 years exclusively in carefully selected sherry-seasoned oak casks, which were previously filled with high-quality sherry in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The natural, golden colour is achieved solely through the long cask maturation and contains absolutely no colourings. Originally released as a Travel Exclusive, this edition is one of the distillery’s most sought-after bottlings. The 0.7 l bottle combines the finest craftsmanship with a modern packaging design, created in collaboration with the renowned artist and graphic designer David Carson, which draws on the characteristic colours of the Albariza soils of Jerez.


At 40% ABV, The Macallan Colour Collection 12 Years Old is elegant, balanced and approachable. Maturation in the characteristic sherry casks gives the whisky a harmonious blend of sweet oak, citrus, vanilla and ripe fruit notes. The mild climate of Speyside and the carefully selected casks from Jerez define the unmistakable style of this bottling and underline The Macallan’s decades of expertise in sherry cask maturation. The light, natural colour perfectly reflects the elegant and fresh character of this single malt.
