Macallan Classic Cut (2017 Release)
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

Lives up to some of the hype, and a basically the Macallan 12 on flavour roids.
Sherry on the nose, with a touch of oak, dried fruit and honey. There's cinnamon and tobacco on the palate, with plenty of wood spices. The body is full with a pleasant burn from the high ABV, and the finish has a touch of dark chocolate.
Considering it's a limited edition, it's definitely worth buying.

@Joe_C - it is a magical place!
@Joe_C - that’s like the 5 minute tease “60 Minutes” did on Islay the other night. 🙂
@Rick_M we need a forum on Distiller. I will say this though: the Highlands are magnificent! And I think the highlight of my trip was having haggis with the Distillery manager at Cragganmore while sampling six of their finest whiskies. We were about 20 people, because I'm not capable of summoning that sort of audience by myself, but it felt very intimate and personal. Loved it.
LOL @PBMichiganWolverine I wish I had that kind of pull.
@Joe_C - no more “likes” from me till we hear a few stories about your trip to Scotland. 😊
No, no... @Joe_C ...what you doing? A “worth buying “ recommendation from Distiller Reviewer of the Year will cause a price spike 😁
Agreed
Right now this is the best value for money from Macallan IMO.
