Macallan Home Collection The Distillery Single Malt Scotch whisky 700ml

Macallan Home Collection / The Distillery - includes Giclee Art Prints

The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then, Macallan has 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 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. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.

The first in a series from the famous Speysider which is titled the Home Collection.
The Macallan Home Collection, The Distillery celebrates time-honoured traditions and community spirit – both encapsulated at The Macallan Distillery and around the world.
Inspired by the natural beauty of The Macallan's 485-acre Estate, artist and The Macallan employee Colin Rizza has beautifully depicted the Distillery in watercolour. Colin and his family have deep ties to the Distillery, having worked here for over three decades.
