The Macallan, proudly presents the Classic Cut 2024 Edition, the eighth release in this esteemed annual series.
This eighth release in the esteemed annual series pushes boundaries and celebrates the brand’s unwavering commitment to crafting whiskies of unparalleled character.
The Classic Cut series, meticulously overseen by The Macallan’s Whisky Mastery Team, is renowned for its distinctive expressions.
Each release embarks on a unique taste journey, and the 2024 Edition is no exception. It celebrates the exquisite harmony achieved by marrying ex-Bourbon American oak and sherry-seasoned European oak casks. This masterful cask selection yields a complex and captivating tapestry of flavours.
Bottled at a robust 52.4% ABV, the Classic Cut 2024 Edition unveils a prominent character of lush vanilla, enticing enthusiasts to savour its opulence.
However, the true potential of this whisky lies in its versatility. When “cut” with water to 40% ABV, delightful tropical fruit and invigorating lemon flavours emerge, enriching the tasting experience and showcasing the artistry behind the creation.
The aromatic experience is nothing short of a symphony. On the nose, the Classic Cut 2024 Edition presents a captivating blend of rich vanilla, orchard fruits, marzipan, citrus peel, freshly picked herbs, and sweet oak. The palate follows suit, delighting with layers of baked custard, velvety milk chocolate, sweet green apple, and balanced oak spices. The journey culminates in a long, rich, and sweet finish.
The Macallan Classic Cut 2024 Edition transcends a mere whisky; it is a celebration of craftsmanship and a gateway to sensory exploration. This remarkable expression further solidifies The Macallan’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of flavour, inviting connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike to indulge in a truly unique whisky experience.
