Macallan Classic Cut Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A series of annual expressions that celebrate The Macallan’s ongoing commitment to seek out the extraordinary and in doing so create whiskies of unique character.

The Macallan Classic Cut Release was created to reveal a unique character and timeless spirit. 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.

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.
