Reviews

In terms of single malt whiskey, Macallan 12 is the Rolls Royce.

"I had never been a fan of whiskey until someone one day gave me a comprehensive introduction to single malts. I did my research and found the late great Michael Jackson's guide to single malt whiskey, in which he declared, "Macallan 12 is the Rolls Royce of single malt whiskies. " He was dead on. For the money, it is unparalleled. Since then, I've tried more than 30 single malts, but I keep going back to my original love."

— Menziel N. (5/5)

This goes fantastically with cigars.

"In contrast to some watered-down Macallans that are simply missing despite their character, this one is left at cask strength, which I believe is 58%. It has a lovely balance of wood and sherry. Highly regarded and pairs well with a variety of cigars."

— Belovene E. (5/5)

The pinnacle of excellence

"I have the utmost admiration for whoever created this timeless cut. Drinking it is a complete pleasure. I adore it completely."
