The Macallan

Top Marken, Top Service, Top Kompetenz

Situated on the banks of the River Spey, the country estate with the mysterious name “Easter Elchie House” sits gracefully on a hill near Craigellachie. Here, where the Spey takes its swift course in the shadow of the Grampian Mountains, the location and climate create unique conditions for whisky production.

The distillery was first licensed by Alexander Reid in 1824. The distillery was initially run as a sideline on the farm until 1882, when it was taken over by Roderick Kemp, whose family led the business to prosperity over the next hundred years.

The secret lies, among other things, in Macallan’s cask management.
The whiskies in the Sherry Oak line mature in hand-picked casks made from European oak, in which dry Oloroso Sherry de Jerez was previously stored.

Whiskies in the Double Cask range are matured in hand-selected American and European oak casks previously filled with dry Oloroso sherry.
