An obsession with quality has been the hallmark of The Macallan since its founding by Alexander Reid on a plateau above the river Spey in north-east Scotland. The distillery is surrounded by a 485 acre estate with Easter Elchies House at its heart. FOUNDED IN 1824 The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then we have built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.
The Macallan 12 Year Old Triple Cask offers a smooth and approachable Speyside single malt experience. This expression features a pleasant flavor with minimal burn, making it easy to sip neat. Compared to the Macallan Double Cask 12, it boasts a more balanced flavor profile as the Double Cask is a little too rich in oak flavors, states whiskey expert Neil Coleman.
