THE EXPERIENCE
COLOUR
WHISKY MAKER NOTE
At full strength (50.3%) the prominent character of the spirit is pear. When ‘one cut’ of water is added, the strength is reduced to 40%, and almond biscotti steps forward as a flavour.
WATER AS THE KEY
Embark on a sensory journey that is anything but classic with The Macallan Classic Cut 2023 Edition. This remarkable expression unveils the whisky’s evolving flavour profile, enhanced by ‘one cut’ of water that opens the door to different flavours within the Classic Cut vibrant universe.
MARKS OF DISTINCTION
FROM THE CASK
Every Macallan single malt reveals the unrivalled commitment to the mastery of wood and spirit for which The Macallan has been known since it was established in 1824. It is an expression of our enduring desire to go beyond the ordinary, to seek out the extraordinary, and create peerless single malts.
Our reputation for the extraordinary is characterised by the exceptional oak casks for which The Macallan is renowned. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of the Master of Wood, the hand-picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of the Whisky Mastery Team.
Once filled, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed in the same casks for the necessary number of years it needs to be worthy of its destined Macallan expression. It is the oak that makes the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours at the heart of this single malt whisky.
