Description
This is the fourth edition of the Macallan Classic Cut series of annual releases following on from their Classic Cut 2019 third edition bottling. The series is designed to offer a different flavour experience year on year and for the first time in the series, the Macallan ‘Whisky Mastery Team’ were given carte blanche to rummage through and explore The Macallan’s different cask types to create this precious single malt.
The Macallan Whisky Maker, Polly Logan, then used her nous and experience to craft the expression using a combination of sherry seasoned European oak casks and ex-bourbon American oak casks resulting a single malt with unique flavour and character.
The folks at the distillery comment:
“The exceptional whisky offers a sweet lightness brought by the ex-bourbon oak casks, intertwined with the depth and complexity created by The Macallan’s signature sherry-seasoned oak casks. It has a higher strength ABV of 55%, selected by the Whisky Maker as the optimum level to bring forth the full character of the single malt and reveal the dominant notes of vanilla, sweet orange and fresh vibrant oak”
