The Macallan Classic Cut 2023 Edition

The 2023 Edition explores dynamic, multisensory dimensions inspired by the whisky’s unique tasting notes, while the addition of ‘one cut’ of water opens up a new, sensorial world from pear to almond biscotti. This high strength release demonstrates The Macallan’s ongoing quest to seek out the extraordinary.
This exceptional single malt has matured in a union of ex-Bourbon American oak and sherry seasoned European oak casks.
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.

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.
