An Exceptional Speyside Single Malt with Intense Notes of Dried Grapes and Vanilla

Macallan, the Excellence of Scottish Whisky Since 1824

Founded in 1824 in Scotland by Alexander Reid, Macallan is an iconic distillery located in Craigellachie in the Speyside region. Owned by the Edrington group since 1999, it stands out for having some of the smallest stills in Speyside, promoting increased copper contact, and for a rigorous selection that retains only 16 % of the distillate for maturation. Macallan is also unique for its Master of Wood, Stuart MacPherson, who oversees the production of oak casks seasoned with sherry, contributing to the aromatic richness of its whiskies. This meticulous attention at every stage of production has established Macallan as one of Scotland’s most prestigious distilleries.
