The Macallan
‘Macallan’ is most likely derived from two Gaelic words -‘Magh’ meaning a fertile piece of ground and ‘Ellan’, meaning ‘of St Fillan’, an Irish born monk who travelled widely in Scotland spreading Christianity during the eighth century. Founded in 1824, The Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then, The Macallan has built a reputation a sone of the world’s truly great single malt whiskies.To fully appreciate The Macallan, we must understand the contributing influences of Scotland, Spain and North America, and of their respective natural raw materials, together with the methods and the craftsmanship, perfected over the generations, that combine to give such outstanding quality and distinctive character.

Part of the 1824 Series, 100% natural colour, 100% sherry oak. The Macallan whisky maker, Bob Dalgarno, has created each the expressions by identifying the natural colours formed during maturation in different cask types and putting them together to create the character informed by the colours. As you progress up the range the whiskies’ colour becomes richer and their flavours more intense. Amber Colour Amber ABV 40% Nose Polite, almost apologetic at first, with a floral, citrus sweet nose that gains presence, commanding a chorus of vanilla notes over freshly harvested grain. Raisin, sultana and cinnamon look on as toffee apples and candy floss step into the limelight. Palate Fresh green apples and lemons mingle with cinnamon. Ginger notes hover as fruit takes over, with subtle oak lingering in the wings. Finish Light to medium with soft fruits and cereal, slightly dry.
