  • About The Product

    The Macallan Classic Cut 2020 Edition is a special annual release from the renowned Highland distillery, showcasing the house style at a bold cask strength of 55% ABV. Each Classic Cut bottling highlights a slightly different character of The Macallan, reflecting the Master Whisky Maker’s careful cask selection and the influence of oak on the spirit.

    The 2020 edition is crafted predominantly from sherry-seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez, Spain, combined with a proportion of American oak casks that have been seasoned with sherry. This dual cask approach enriches the whisky with layers of depth, balancing traditional richness with a vibrant structure. The natural color, derived solely from the aging process in these exceptional casks, is a hallmark of The Macallan’s dedication to authenticity and uncompromising quality.

    Bottled at a powerful 55% ABV, the Classic Cut 2020 captures the distillery’s spirit in its purest form, unchill-filtered and presented as intended by the whisky makers. This higher strength emphasizes the complexity, intensity, and texture of the whisky, appealing to collectors and connoisseurs alike.

    Released as a limited annual edition, The Macallan Classic Cut 2020 continues the distillery’s tradition of innovation within heritage, offering whisky enthusiasts an opportunity to experience a rare expression that bridges timeless craftsmanship with contemporary exploration. With its collectible status, striking presentation, and meticulously selected oak casks, it stands as both a celebration of The Macallan’s mastery and a testament to its ongoing pursuit of excellence.

    Taste Profile & Food Pairings

    Taste Notes: The Macallan Classic Cut 2020, at its robust cask strength, offers an intense and complex aroma of rich dried fruits (prunes, figs), sweet vanilla, and vibrant orange peel, underscored by significant notes of warm ginger, cinnamon, and a polished oak presence. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, delivering a concentrated explosion of sweet sherry, dark chocolate, and a bold array of baking spices. Notes of creamy toffee, toasted almonds, and a subtle savory oak contribute to its profound depth. The mouthfeel is often thick and chewy. The finish is exceptionally long, warm, and rich, with lingering sweet fruit, intense spice, and a sophisticated oak dryness.

    Food Pairings: This powerful, cask-strength single malt is best savored neat or with a few drops of water. It makes an ideal pairing for rich, dark chocolate desserts, especially those with dried fruits or nuts. Consider it with roasted game meats, deeply flavored stews, or a selection of aged, hard cheeses. It's also a superb choice to enjoy alongside a premium cigar.
