About The Macallan
Founded in 1824 on a plateau above the River Spey in northeast Scotland, The Macallan is renowned globally for its incomparable craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation, with each bottle of single malt whisky revealing its unique mastery of wood and spirit.
Social and environmental sustainability is at the heart of The Macallan’s values. As part of its commitment to establishing a positive legacy, the brand unveiled its award-winning new Distillery in 2018. Designed by internationally acclaimed architects, the building, located on The Macallan’s beautiful 485-acre Estate, takes inspiration from its surrounding ancient Scottish hills. To this day, the single greatest influence on The Macallan’s sought after portfolio of single malts remains its sherry seasoned oak casks from which its whiskies derive their distinctive flavours, aromas, and natural colour.
