Macallan Classic Cut 2023 Edition

In the heart of Speyside on the banks of the rvier de Spey lies The Macallan Distillery since 1824. Macallan is among the classic distilleries with a penchant for maturation in Sherry casks. Macallan's stills are remarkably small which makes for a relatively heavy new spirit. A new distillery was built in 1966 and, next to this 'new' distillery, the current distillery with visitor centre was opened in 2018. Unique of its kind in Scotland. The boiler house includes 24 wash stills and 12 spirit stills. This has put the old distillery in mothballs.
 

Origin and bottling

Since 2017, Macallan has been marketing the Classic Cut. This expression is available on a limited basis every year and there is a large fan base for this extraordinary Macallan.

Cask type

This exceptional single malt has matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon American oak and sherry-aged European oak casks.  

Tasting note according to Macallan

Immerse yourself in a world of flavours, where the essence of fresh pear and almond biscotti takes centre stage. Through a mesmerising catwalk experience, vibrant fabrics and colour choices evoke the freshness of the unique pear tasting note, whilst the flowing texture of a golden gown represents the almond biscotti flavour profile that is revealed with ‘one cut’ of water.
