Description
The annual Classic Cut series from The Macallan returns with the 2025 Edition, bottled at the whisky maker’s chosen strength of 50.6%. Matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned European and American oak alongside bourbon casks, this one showcases a shifting, multi-layered profile that reveals new sides of itself with each cut of water.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Velvety milk chocolate, orange zest, and rich oak at full strength, with a bright lift of grapefruit and creamy panna cotta when reduced.
Palate
Decadent and evolving, moving from chocolate-coated citrus peel and nutty malt to vanilla custard, orchard fruits, and zesty lemon drizzle as water teases out more layers.
Finish
Fresh and warming, with apple, lemon zest, and a clean citrusy vibrance lingering on.
