Description

The Macallan Distillery was founded by Alexander Reid who was a barley farmer and school teacher on a plateau above the river Spey in northeast Scotland. The Macallan was founded in 1824 and is one of the first distilleries in Scotland to operate legally with a license. The distillery’s traditional methods and craftsmanship along with the raw materials are influenced by Spain, North America and Scotland.

The third edition in the limited annual series, The Macallan Classic Cut – 2019 Edition has an ideal ABV of 52.9% to bring forth the full character of the single malt. This has been chosen by the Whisky Maker Polly Logan as the optimum strength to reveal a dominant sweetness and the well balanced flavours of this whisky. To truly appreciate the complex flavour dimensions, pour and allow it to breathe for 10-15 minutes for an intensified experience. After this time, heightened flavours of orange, sweet ginger and vanilla come to the forefront, combined with a satisfyingly long finish. Classic Cut 2019 is a truly indulgent single malt whisky.
