Macallan – Whisky Maker’s Edition (70cl, 42.8%)

Macallan – Whisky Maker’s Edition is a whisky from Macallan (Speyside). Bottled at 42.8% ABV, 70cl. The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow ‘cut’ of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors. A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports. The 1824 Collection from Macallan is a range exclusive to travel retail. This was crafted by the Macallan Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno at his preferred strength for his personal enjoyment and now you can try it too.
