Macallan Classic Cut описывают как более крепкий и ароматный, чем стандартные релизы, с заметным влиянием бурбона и шерри, нотами ванили, специй, сухофруктов и шоколада. Часть отзывов отмечает высокую цену и то, что виски не всем кажется сбалансированным.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах Classic Cut чаще всего описывают как виски с повышенной крепостью, что даёт больше аромата и вкуса по сравнению со стандартными Macallan. В нос и вкусе повторяются ваниль, специи (имбирь, корица, перец), сухофрукты, шоколад, карамель и орехи; отдельно упоминается влияние бурбона и шерри, причём некоторые считают, что бурбон перекрывает шерри, а другие находят баланс хорошим. Текстура описывается как маслянистая и сливочная, финиш — от среднего до долгого, с дубом, специями и сухофруктами.
Вместе с тем в отзывах есть и критика: виски называют слишком горячим без воды, а при добавлении воды появляются неприятные ноты; пейт и финиш некоторым кажутся не очень интересными. Несколько раз отмечается завышенная цена и то, что за эти деньги есть более удачные варианты. При этом часть отзывов называет его доступным, хорошо сбалансированным и лучшим по сравнению с базовой линейкой 12 лет или версией Double Cask.

A medium sherried, distillate-driven, clean Macallan. It is a bit too hot without water, but with water it gets some unplasant notes. The palate and finish are not very interesting. Price is too high for a whisky that has problems. If value was a factor, this would not break 80 points.

| Нос | 85 | Fudge, spicy cocoa and cherries. |
| Вкус | 84 | Clean, but a bit hot without water. Fruit, spiced, custard. With more water the sherry becomes more pronounced, but there is also bitterness that is not very pleasant. |
| Финиш | 84 | Medium to long. Tropical fruit, cherry, spices and vanilla. |

S 7 Quite clean on the nose and full-bodied on palate. Bourbon-led with a trace of Sherry influence. Nothing heavily sherried or screaming age, but a good representation of Macallan distillate style and at a relatively decent price. Collectors are chasing after the darker ones so this flies under the radar. Consider this batch an elevated version of double cut.

| Нос | 84 | Oily honey. Cooked cashews. White flowers. Granola and raisin mussels. Lotus biscuits. A hint of copper and garden mint as it breathes. Toffee candy. Candied ginger. Slightly pungent but rather soft considering the abv. |
| Вкус | 85 | Oily mouthfeel. Honey cereal. Vanilla and toasted oak. Dried fruits - sultana, plums, honey peaches. Buttery walkers. Cloves and cinnamon sticks. Fiery spices shouting its youth but not overwhelming. A lot of dark fruits and cocoa surfaced as it swirls. |
| Финиш | 85 | Mid-long finish. The oily texture carried on and now moved towards the oaky and cereal side. Some red berries with skin on. Mildly herbal. Enjoyable. |
Unlike the standard Macallans, the Classic Cut is bottled at a much higher alcohol percentage, and that immediately brings more flavor. Vanilla and ginger, supported by creamy toffee and raisins, milk chocolate, and slightly spicy flavors
Not my favorite classic cut, the bourbon and sherry are muddled. Not bad, just not worth the price.

Lots of vanilla in both nose and mouth. Long and smooth finish. Very accessible whisky.
Decent and accessible Macallan that’s better than core range 12 yr. old.

| Нос | 84 | Initial nose of cherries, perhaps cherry cola. Soft vanilla and new oak. |
| Вкус | 83 | Nice mouthfeel neat but with a fair amount of burn and pepperiness. After adding a fair amount of water the pepper remains on the backend but burn is reduced. Creamier orchard fruits join the profile. |
| Финиш | 83 | This is a step up for sure vs. core range 12 yr old, imo. I think we’d all hope to see good approachable and affordable Macallan, though this is closer, competition at this price is far better. All that said, I like having a bottle in my collection as a reference for other Scotches and I do enjoy this but if your limited on what you can buy, move elsewhere. |
Sweet malty and spicy. Classic smooth sherried malt. Be careful with water, at this price, you need to savor everything. Honey barley, chocolate, caramel. Rich dark fruits in an oily, spicy syrupy feel. Strong bourbon cask influence seems to overpower sherry cask influence . A well rounded and quality whisky, but not mind blowing. There are better malts out there for half the price.
A really lovely Macallan. Lots of great aroma and flavor in really good balance. Nice and clear notes from both Bourbon and Sherry casks. At first, I thought it would remind me a bit of Macallan Double Cask, but this Classic Cut is significantly better.

| Нос | 88 | Sweet oranges and apples hit the nose first. Then comes milk chocolate and nutmeg, followed by sweet malt and oak. Finally, a little vanilla and raisin. A wonderful and well-balanced nose. |
| Вкус | 87 | Soft and sweet chocolate cake with citrus, vanilla and marzipan. Then some bitter notes from grain and wood together with spices and biscuits. Finally, some stewed fruits with a touch of fresh green herbs. A really wonderful and delicious taste. |
| Финиш | 86 | A soft sweetness fills the mouth, and while the alcohol tingles a little on the tongue, the warmth sinks down the throat and out into the body. Slowly, bitter and slightly sour notes emerge from the grains and fruit. A nice balance settles in and forms a medium-long finish. |
Bourbon influences are very pronounced, with light and well-matched sherry notes. A lovely fruitiness from dried fruits, well balanced with appropriate alcohol percentages.
Successful in my mind. Side by side with the 2022 version, this one wins. Come on Macallan, price it more reasonable!
