The Macallan, founded in 1824 as one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland, finds its home in Speyside, an area that sweeps from granite Mountains down to fertile countryside and is acknowledged as the heartland of malt whisky distillation. The Macallan’s reputation as one of world’s most awarded and admired single malts is the result of the devotion, commitment and skill of The Masters of Spirit and Wood, the craftsmen at the heart of The Macallan. Their obsession with the finest barley, yeasts and water, their skill in taking only the finest cut of spirit and their care in maturing it in only the best oak wood has ensured the timeless quality of this legendary single malt. Furthermore, The Macallan invests more than any other distillery in sourcing, crafting, and seasoning its casks. As a result, the character of its exceptional oak casks is the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, natural colors, and distinctive aromas of The Macallan.
