Description
The Macallan distillery, located in the Scottish Highlands, has a rich history dating back to 1824.
Farmers in the area had been making whisky on their Speyside farms for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.
The distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher.
The original name of the area was “Maghellan”, taken from the Gaelic word “magh”, meaning fertile ground and “Ellan”, from the Monk St.Fillan – who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400.
Today, the Macallan distillery is renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
The traditional stone buildings, adorned with copper pot stills and wooden fermentation vessels, exude an air of timeless elegance.
Each step in the whiskey-making process is meticulously executed, from the selection of the finest barley to the patient maturation in handcrafted Spanish oak casks.
The Macallan is dedicated to using only the finest quality oak casks, sourced from the forests of northern Spain, which impart unique flavors and characteristics to the whiskey.
The rich, natural colour and complex flavors of dried fruits, spices and oak are a testament to the mastery of Macallan’s cask selection process.
The Macallan distillery also boasts an impressive collection of aged whiskies, some dating back several decades.
The Macallan Sherry Oak 25 Years Old is an exquisite expression within Macallan’s esteemed Sherry Oak range.
This collection highlights a selection of single malt whiskies that undergo an exclusive maturation process in carefully chosen sherry seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez.
The result is a meticulously crafted whiskey with a captivating flavour profile, characterized by hints of citrus, dried fruits and a subtle essence of wood smoke.
After a quarter-century of maturation, this exceptional whisky gains an unparalleled depth and intensity, making it a truly remarkable and cherished single malt.
