The Macallan<\/h2>
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.<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The secret lies, among other things, in Macallan’s cask management.
\nThe 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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Whiskies in the Double Cask range are matured in hand-selected American and European oak casks previously filled with dry Oloroso sherry.<\/div>\n
