Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы о Macallan Classic Cut 2023 расходятся: одни находят его приятным и насыщенным, другие — простым и не выдающимся. Чаще отмечают доминирование бурбона, ваниль, фруктовость и специи.

развернуть подробно

В отзывах неоднократно подчёркивается, что в этом виски преобладает влияние бурбоновых бочек, а шерри почти не ощущается. Нос описывают как сладкий и фруктовый, с ванилью, карамелью, грушей, яблоком, цитрусом, а также ореховыми и шоколадными нотами; во вкусе упоминают ваниль, карамель, дубовую специю, имбирь, сухофрукты, изюм, молочный шоколад и орехи. Финиш в разных отзывах оценивают по-разному — от округлого и среднего до длинного, пряного и дубового, иногда с горечью или коротким послевкусием. Часть отзывов отмечает, что виски требует времени в бокале, чтобы раскрыться и стать более гармоничным, а крепость ощущается заметно. Мнения о качестве расходятся: некоторые считают его значительно лучше ожидаемого для современного Macallan, приятным и насыщенным, с хорошей маслянистостью; другие называют его простым, нейтральным по характеру спирта, неоправданно дорогим или лишённым сложности, а один отзыв прямо говорит, что он не имеет ничего общего с профилем, сделавшим Macallan известным. Несколько отзывов упоминают, что добавление воды делает вкус более пряным или разваливает фруктовость.

Something really special. Everybody will like this :)

Нос	89	Sweet vanilla and fruity.
Вкус	90	No doubt that this has aged in Bourbon casks. The taste really shines through, not overly sweet but pleasant.
Финиш	91	Round and subtle.

springtank Connoisseur 84 26 jun 2025 5:32 pm

Green, floral, wet grass, sherry flavor is not obvious, and there is a slight sense of alcohol. It gets a little better after the cup is awakened. The aroma is good and the bitterness is gone.

RMB 699/bottle. That's a good price for a Macallan.

Stefan_Hartl Expert Senior 84 26 feb 2026 5:54 pm

In this Macallan, the bourbon casks clearly predominate. The malt is fruity and fresh with plenty of oak spice. Overall, somewhat unspectacular.

paulsamra Member Senior 81 20 jan 2025 7:11 pm

I enjoy this expression. It’s like a CS and better version version of the 12 triple casks. Actually I am not too into Macallan bourbon cask stuff but this class cut is quite good to enjoy.

[May 2025] Despite knowing that I do not like the modern Macallan for more than a decade now, a friend gave me a small sample of this... ...and no, it did not change my mind. Actually, this has absolutely nothing to do with the profile that made Macallan once famous. This is a completely different malt, and of average quality only (at best). To be honest, why should I invest some of my precvious liver cells to swallow this stuff? Do not get me wrong, if you like this dram this is absolutely fine - simply because "there is no accouting on taste" and everybody should savour what he/she likes. It is just: I drank a lot of the old Macallan before, and this ruined my senses for such a modern style dram - sorry, folks.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	79	There is nothing noteworthy in here, this smells like any other young modern malt. Given this nose I guess this dram is not much older than 5-6 years.
Вкус	79	There is nothing noteworthy in the taste either, this tastes like any other young modern malt. I guess this dram is not much older than 5-6 years.
Финиш	75	Both the mouthfeel and the finish are almost non-existent, hence the texture (quality) of the spirit is rather poor. I used the spittoon.

Significantly better than expected for a modern Macallan.

It smells noble, intense ex-bourbon barrel, with floral and fruity notes. There is gooseberry, kiwi, no sherry, some vanilla and wonderfully delicate wood. It goes on like this in the mouth, only that he gets strong very quickly - no, really strong! He's got a lot of bang! But he remains mature and elegant, the alcohol doesn't overwhelm you. The taste is a touch spicier, woodier. But overall really good!

Fruity and nutty, although a little simple altogether.

This is a whisky that definitely needed time for me to appreciate. My first impression wasn't very positive, but now I really like it. It's strong, spicy, and intense, but with enough time in the glass, it's significantly more harmonious and complex than I initially expected.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	87	Initially somewhat closed and alcoholic. With more time in the glass, the orange, vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit flavors come through much more clearly. There are also some spice and oak notes.
Вкус	86	Strong and intense. Sweet fruits, caramel, spices, and a hint of chocolate. Initially, it was almost too sharp and unsettled for me, but after a while, it becomes significantly smoother and truly powerful.
Финиш	87	Long and warm with spicy oak, dark fruit, and a touch of sweetness. The strength of the 50.3% ABV remains noticeable without becoming unpleasant.

Really good new Macallan 2023. I buy every Macallan Classic Cut because I really like these expressions. The 2021 and 2022 were more like sweet bakery and candy floss but the 2023 bears more fruity aromas like pear and fresh apple. On the tongue there is a strong accession with sweet spicy oak which developes with a short shift to a slightly bitter ginger remanence. It takes some drops of water to emerge additional aromas. It gets better with every sip.

SwiftyMcVeigh Expert Senior 87 26 jan 2024 3:07 pm

The ex-bourbon influence is in the foreground. Nice to drink, it lacks the complexity for a higher rating. I like the nose best. Water is not recommended as it makes it too spicy on the palate for me. The structure also suffers.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	89	Ripe pear, almond oil, vanilla, blossom honey, elderberry. Toffee. Beeswax. Ripe orange. Very nice nose!
Вкус	86	Oily start. Orange, pear, grapefruit, vanilla, ginger and oak spice. Honey. malt sugar. Bright grapes. The alcohol pushes the flavors forward, but is well integrated. Based on the nose, I expected a little more. I think there are some young barrels, but also older ones up to 12 years old. With water it becomes too spicy for me and the fruit falls apart.
Финиш	85	oak, ginger. Honey. Becomes drier. Medium length.

DrOmega Expert Senior 80 11 feb 2024 2:16 pm

Remarkably sweet and candy, gives a full and warm feeling. Separate reflection of fruit and wood tones, but perhaps missing a slightly 'fresher' component to complete the whole.

The_Osprey Expert Senior 84 25 mar 2024 12:11 am

Macallan Classic Cut, SMSW 50.3%. 30ml sample from Mr Dram Man consumed Feb 2024. Dark golden yellow. Aroma is quite muted. Some pleasant simple vanilla and biscuity oak. Malted milk biscuits. Hint of margarine. Very simple. I like American oak but it does need to be first fill or aged a longer time than this is in order to impart its best characteristics. This is clean but too basic. The spirit character is very neutral. Below-average on the aroma. Nice oiliness to the body. Taste is pretty good. Could almost be a mid-aged grain whisky given the neutrality of the spirit and the oak-led flavour. Not complex on the palate either but definitely a bit better in that department than the aroma. Has a nice richness to it. Vanilla and sweet oak extract, vague biscuit and crème brulee notes and the faintest, faintest orange but mostly just delivering that rich vanilla American oak. Faint bitterness on the finish but nothing too distracting. The body is probably the best thing about this. A good solid dram but a similar or better experience can be had while saving some cash. 3.5/84-

realcjames Member Senior 86 29 nov 2025 2:40 pm

It has flavor, but the alcohol content is overwhelming; it's just okay.

SingleMaltRussell Expert Senior 85 25 apr 2025 6:22 pm

Some very nice malt showing in the midpalate and not much sherry at all, so I probably couldn’t ask for a Macallan built more along the lines of what I tend to enjoy. Solid stuff this, with the obligatory disclaimer that it still, in no way justifies the purchase price.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	84	Lemon barley sugars and orange cream soda become baked stone fruit in pastry, rose Turkish delight, candied almonds with maybe a hint of tropical passionfruit
Вкус	86	Texturally medium-thick, amber honey and butter mature into somewhat darker and denser crème caramel, with toffee malt becoming toffee apple surrounded by a bubbly gaggle of mixed peppercorns
Финиш	85	Heavily driven by oak char notes. Creme caramel turns to Creme brûlée and the burnt sugars start to pick up a coffee bean bitterness. The peppers settle down to icy/hot eucalyptus and szechuan oils poured over pebbles
