The Macallan Distillery is a renowned single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Craigellachie, Moray, in the north-east of Scotland. Established in 1824, The Macallan has a rich history and is known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The distillery is a wholly owned subsidiary of Edrington, which acquired the brand from Highland Distillers in 1999.
The Macallan Distillery is situated on the picturesque Easter Elchies estate, which spans 485 acres. The distillery's unique location and traditional methods contribute to the distinctive character of its whiskies. The Macallan is famous for its use of high-quality oak casks, which are sourced from Spain and the United States. These casks play a crucial role in the maturation process, imparting rich flavours and aromas to the whisky.
