Frequently asked
Double Cask vs Sherry Oak — which is better?
Neither is "better" — they're different profiles. Double Cask uses American + European sherry-seasoned oak (balanced, gently rich). Sherry Oak uses 100% European sherry oak (deeper, richer, more spice-forward). Both are excellent 12 YOs.
Is Macallan 12 Double Cask worth the premium over Glenlivet 12 or Glenfiddich 12?
Depends on style preference. Macallan 12 Double Cask leans richer and sherry-forward. Glenlivet/Glenfiddich 12 lean lighter and fruitier. Macallan's brand cachet does contribute to pricing.
How should I serve it?
Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature. A few drops of water open the aromatics. Avoid ice — the sherry character deserves to be tasted at full intensity.
