The Macallan Classic Cut 2021 Edition Single Malt Whisky 700ML

The Macallan Classic Cut 2021 Edition Single Malt Whisky

The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then, Macallan has built a reputation as one of the worlds leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.

The Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was Maghellan, taken from the Gaelic word magh, meaning fertile ground and Ellan, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.

As the fifth edition in the Classic Cut limited annual series, Macallan has released Classic Cut 2021 Edition to demonstrate their continuous quest to seek out the extraordinary, revealing a unique flavour and character.

A single malt matured in an exquisite union of oak casks, this single malt was carefully crafted by the Whisky Mastery Team to showcase the role of ex-bourbon American oak casks in Macallans portfolio.

The expression perfectly combines sweet lightness brought by these casks with depth and complexity from The Macallans renowned sherry seasoned American oak casks, to uncover a new, uniquely heightened flavour experience.

Nose: Orange zest and oil, fresh vanilla and ginger with notes of fruit jellies and marzipan.

Taste: Fresh oak, gingerbread, vanilla custard and cinnamon.

Finish: Medium sweet with spiced fruit.
