THOUGH THE LABEL appears to suggest that The Macallan is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, it’s a misconception. Since it was licensed in 1824, The Macallan has been produced in Speyside on a small estate near Craigellachie overlooking the River Spey.
Flowing through a diverse landscape, from mountains and glens to forests and farmland, the 170-kilometre-long River Spey is one of the most significant and captivating rivers in Scotland. The passage of waters once used to transport barrels of whisky to the Spey Bay passes through several nature reserves, including the Abernethy Forest Reserve, containing one of Scotland’s last remaining ancient Caledonian pine forests while the estuary is home to a range of wildlife such as seals and ospreys. Suffice it to say, the distillery where The Macallan calls home, is in communion with nature.
Situated within a countryside that has been classified as an “Area of Great Landscape Value”, the idyllic surroundings and nature’s perfection are a constant source of inspiration for The Macallan. When time came for designing its new distillery, The Macallan put nature at the heart of the processes to ensure that the creation of one of the world’s most beloved single malts would endure for generations to come. Therefore, when it came to conceptualising the brand’s “ambassador” to the world, the first Macallan House ever is a poetic and emblematic representation of that ethos.
