Brand Story

Macallan is a Scottish whiskey distillery nestled in the Speyside region. Macallan happens to be a legendary whiskey distillery. Created in 1824 by Alexander Reid, it offers an unpeated whiskey and is based on 6 pillars: The estate and its history including Easter Elchies House, the small stills which forge the character of Macallan's "new make", oak barrels worked with great care, the use of sherry wine barrels thanks to collaborations with bodegas on specific shaping, a natural color and know-how perpetuated within the distillery since 1824. Finally, despite its glorious heritage and its luxurious advances, Macallan sports a strong green policy thanks to the arrival of the new distillery in 2018...

Product Detail

The 15 year old Single Malt, presented here, rested in American and European oak barrels, which were previously filled with Oloroso sherry. The Macallan speaks of "sherry seasoned casks" in this context - this is an indication that the casks have been "seasoned" with sherry for several years, particularly at the request of the whiskey producer. It must be said that old Spanish sherry casks have become extremely rare these days! The whiskey taste profile features an abundance of sherry flavors.
