Description
Located in the heart of whisky-making territory, the Macallan distillery resonates with the pulse of the whisky industry. Established in 1824 in the serene surroundings of Speyside near the river Spey, this distillery is owned by Edrington & William Grant & Sons. The Macallan distillery boasts an impressive collection of 18 operational stills, allowing it to produce over 6,000,000 liters of whisky annually. The water utilized in the production of Macallan whisky is sourced from local boreholes, contributing to its distinct character.
This particular expression of Macallan is exclusively matured in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. This maturation process transforms the rich, fruity, and full-bodied ‘new make’ spirit into a classic single malt. The whisky rests undisturbed in the same casks for a duration of 12 years, allowing it to develop a rich and complex character characterized by enticing notes of spice, dried fruit, and a naturally rich golden hue. The result is a truly remarkable whisky that showcases the essence of Macallan’s craftsmanship and dedication to producing exceptional single malts.
The flavor profile reveals notes of just-baked apple Danish, juicy sultanas, stewed plums, and zesty citrus peels, all enveloped in a delightful malty sweetness.
