- Description
- Macallan's 2017 Classic Cut marked the first annual release in a series designed to explore the distillery's core expression through subtle variation. Matured solely in American and European oloroso sherry barrels at cask strength (58.4% ABV), this 90,000-bottle release balances vanilla custard and caramel against ginger, nutmeg, and orange zest. The elevated alcohol adds texture and amplifies the whisky's sweet spice profile. For those who prefer Macallan at full power without extended age statements.
