“...Ask any distillery manager his second favourite dram and as often as not the Macallan is it.” So wrote Jim Murray. It's a truism that resonates with a small group of 'Macallan chasers' who simply will not settle for less. All the better when the whisky in question is natural strength.

The 'Classic Cut' series is designed to offer a different flavour experience year on year. In 2020, for the first time in the series, Macallan's 'Whisky Mastery Team' had the freedom the explore the distillery's different cask types. Whisky Maker, Polly Logan used her skill and experience to select a combination of sherry seasoned European oak casks and ex-bourbon casks; the former adding depth and complexity, the latter bringing a sweet lightness. Bottled at high strength, it guarantees a unique Macallan experience. 55% Alc./Vol.

Notes from Macallan... AROMA: Vanilla with candied orange peel and honey, sweet sultana and raisin with fresh oak and thyme. PALATE: Ginger warmth, sweet orange, vanilla and honey with a fresh vibrant oak. FINISH: Sweet and zingy which travels through to lingering fresh thyme.
