Macallan Classic Cut (2018 Release)

Very high alcohol

A spiced peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The nose is elusive, a hidden peanut husk that highlights the salt with a hint of grape. The taste is a rich and spicy raspberry jam. Halfway through the bottle notes of cinnamon, ginger and hibiscus can be found on the pallet. Additionally, chocolate in the finish is more noticeable.

Didn’t try the 2017. This one is on form for Macallan. Slightly waxy but otherwise very nice drinking neat.

I really liked this one. The bottle took a while to open up, but once it did I got dried fruits, caramel, chocolate, nutmeg, and baked sweet rolls, and ginger. One of the most full flavored Macallans I have had.

Rich, full, vanilla, this starts in strong and really kicks you in the mouth. I’m an Islay guy, but I love this.
