Macallan
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 essential contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland – and their respective natural resources, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.
The Macallan Distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and schoolteacher. 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 had a close connection with the church that was on 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 Macallan’s reputation is built on a product of outstanding quality and distinctive character, based on a set of guiding principles. From place to process, people and passion, the Six Pillars provide the backdrop to the unique spirit of The Macallan.
The Macallan Estate, whose origins date back to 1543, is located in the heart of the Speyside region of Scotland. Set in an area of natural beauty, the 485-hectare Macallan Estate is carefully cultivated in harmony with its surroundings.
