History
The Macallan Distillery – located near Easter Elchies House, in Craigellachie, in the Speyside region of Scotland – was founded way back in 1824. It was one of the first to open, after the law on the legalization of distilleries in the early 1800s. At its birth, however, it still bore the name of Elchies Distillery. It was only in 1892, following a change of ownership, that it took the name of Macallan-Glenlivet, later changed to just Macallan. Over the years, the distillery has become famous for its aging in ex-sherry cask, for the first bottlings dedicated to Italian importers and for the glorious exports of the Seventies and Eighties, arriving at gaining that fame that today makes the Macallan considered «the king of single malt whiskies»: a true status symbol in the world of spirits.

Production Method
To distil its Scottish barley, Macallan uses two large mash tuns, 21 fermenters and 36 stills, the smallest of which, the famous Spirit Stills, produce a dense distillate, very different from the rest of the Speyside area productions. For the aging, Macallan has built a complex system «from forest to distillery» that controls the production of the casks right from the oaks with which they are built. All the Macallan aging takes place in American and European oak casks seasoned with sherry wine and American ex-bourbon casks. The range consists of a 12, a 15 and an 18 year old Triple Cask. Rare and prestigious bottles are also released annually in very limited numbers and editions, from the Rare Cask line to the Series.
