The Six Pillars of Excellence
The Macallan’s reputation is built upon its Six Pillars, foundational elements that contribute to the distinctive character of its whiskies:
The Spiritual Home. Easter Elchies House, a historic Jacobean manor built in 1700, serves as the heart of The Macallan distillery in Speyside, Scotland.
Curiously Small Stills. The uniquely small and shaped copper stills concentrate the ‘new make’ spirit, enhancing its rich flavor.
The Finest Cut. The Macallan selects a narrow ‘cut’ of the distilled spirit, typically just 16%, ensuring only the best quality fills their casks.
Exceptional Oak Casks. The distillery sources, crafts, and seasons its oak casks under the watchful eye of the Master of Wood. Thus significantly influencing the whisky’s quality and character.
Natural Color. The rich diversity of color in The Macallan whiskies is derived solely from the interaction between the spirit and the oak casks, with no artificial coloring added.
Peerless Spirit. The Whisky Maker meticulously oversees the maturation process, determining the perfect time for each cask to be bottled, ensuring a whisky of unparalleled quality.
