Macallan Classic Cut 2023 (50.3%, 70cl)

DESCRIPTION

From an annual series of limited expressions, this is the 2023 edition of The Macallan Classic Cut. It was matured in a combination of bourbon American oak and sherry-seasoned European oak casks and then bottled at 50.3% ABV. It's delicious at that strength, but we recommend pouring two drams and then diluting one with water down to 40% ABV. Do that and a whole new world of flavour opens up, making notes of toasted almonds more like biscotti and marzipan.
