Distillery Information

The Macallan Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, is famous for its single malt whiskies. Founded in 1824, it is known for its high quality and craftsmanship. Macallan offers various single malts for different tastes and occasions. The main series is the Macallan Sherry Oak. It features whiskies aged in sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. These casks give flavours of dried fruits, spices, and chocolate. The 12-Year-Old Sherry Oak is a key example of this series. The Macallan Double Cask series combines the Macallan style with the sweetness of American oak. This range includes the 12, 15, and 18-year whiskies. They offer vanilla and citrus flavours along with the traditional Macallan character. The Macallan Triple Cask Matured range, once known as the Fine Oak series, uses European and American sherry-seasoned casks, and American ex-bourbon casks. This gives a lighter taste. The Triple Cask 18-Year-Old is especially known for its balance and elegance. For true luxury, Macallan has the Masters Decanter Series. This includes the Rare Cask and Reflexion. These are selected for their rare quality. They come in beautifully designed decanters. Macallan also releases limited editions. The Macallan Edition series is an annual release. It explores whisky making and the influence of oak. Each Edition is a unique collaboration, making them collectable. Macallan offers travel retail exclusives too. The Quest Collection is only in duty-free shops. It explores different cask types used in maturation, offering travellers unique tastes.
