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 Double Cask range celebrates the coming together of two styles to bring a unique character to the fore, underpinned by familiar Macallan flavours. The range has a prominent, unmistakable sweetness which is attributed to the higher proportion of American oak sherry seasoned casks used for maturation. Mastery of this union results in a perfect partnership of both sherry seasoned American and European oak casks that, combined, create a range with extraordinary tasting notes of toffee and fresh fruits.
