Because blended is better

Spicy oak and new saddle leather characteristics lead to dusty

Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask (750ml) 1997 limited-edition blended malt Scotch whiskyThis straddles the existing Sherry Oak and Fine Oak ranges by being a mix of spirit matured in both European and American oak sherry casks. Earthy sherry and old leather on the nose, with toffee, polished oak, and cherry blossom. Medium to full bodied, with sherry, orange, cocoa, nutty vanilla, and developing wood spices on the honeyed palate. The finish is creamy, with insistent spices, cocoa, and tangy oak.
