Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid began renting the home from Sir Lewis Grant of Grant. Reid was a farmer, and soon after he sowed the fields surrounding the home with barley, Reid established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. Today, The Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of The Macallan Estates Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky.After the barley is harvested in late August and early September, it is malted before being mashed in one of The Macallans two mash tuns, a process that takes between four and eight hours. Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallans copper-pot stills. Following distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16 percent of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and rich whisky.The Macallan has been known for its unsurpassed commitment to the mastery of wood and spirits since its establishment in the 1824. A showcase of this, The Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is aged for a quarter century in sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. The Macallan takes great care to source, craft, season and care for these casks, as they account for approximately 60 percent of the final aromas and flavors of the whisky, according to a study commissioned by the distillery.As a result of its extended aging in sherry casks, The Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich mahogany color and aromas of citrus, pumpernickel, sherry and burnt wood. The palate is filled with notes of raisins, dried cherries, chocolate and campfire smoke, which leads to a lingering finish accented by cloves, fruitcake, gingerbread and lemon tart.

Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the "Big 3" single malts in Scotland the other two are Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. Fortunately, The Macallan has achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their "Speyside" designation. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the "official" boundaries doesnt mean whiskey-lovers have to pay any attention. The Macallan single malts are famous for their classic Speyside style and the heavily sherried influence of their core rage.The Macallan has been creating single malt whisky for so long at such a high volume and such a high level that they have what sports teams call a very "deep bench." Their incredible inventory of rare, aging single malt gives them the ability to pinpoint flavors and special editions for the refined whisky palate that satisfy a huge, global following.

Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid began renting the home from Sir Lewis Grant of Grant. Reid was a farmer, and soon after he sowed the fields surrounding the home with barley, Reid established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. In the winter when there was little activity on the farm Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains into whisky, which was often drunk straight from the still or sold to travelers passing through the town.Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estates Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky.After the barley is harvested in late August and early September, it is malted before being mashed in one of The Macallans two mash tuns, a process that takes between four and eight hours. Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallans copper-pot stills. The copper comprising the stills acts as a catalyst, and enhances the formation of sweet esters while minimizing impurities such as sulphur. In addition, the curiously small stills some of "the smallest stills within the Scotch whisky industry," according to production manager Alexander Tweedie produce a whisky with a heavy, oily flavor.Following distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16 percent of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and and rich whisky.Macallan Rare Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky showcases two of Macallans most fundamental pillars: natural color and sherry oak casks, according to Macallan Whisky Maker Robert Dalgarno. Dalgarno hand selected fewer than one percent of the casks maturing on The Macallan estate in order to craft this rare whisky.Pick up one of these limited edition bottles today!

Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the "Big 3" single malts in Scotland the other two are Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. Fortunately, The Macallan has achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their "Speyside" designation. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the "official" boundaries doesnt mean whiskey-lovers have to pay any attention. The Macallan single malts are famous for their classic Speyside style and the heavily sherried influence of their core rage.The Macallan has been creating single malt whisky for so long at such a high volume and such a high level that they have what sports teams call a very "deep bench." Their incredible inventory of rare, aging single malt gives them the ability to pinpoint flavors and special editions for the refined whisky palate that satisfy a huge, global following. Their achievements are numerous, including setting the record price ever paid at auction for a single bottle of scotch at auction.At the higher end of the Macallan line is the Masters Decanter Series, of which there are four The Macallan Reflexion, The Macallan no.6, The Macallan M, and The Macallan M Black. Each is special in craftsmanship and in the unique, artistic decanters crafted of fine French crystal by the famous House of Lalique.The Macallan Reflexion Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted from whiskies aged primarily in first-fill, sherry-seasoned oak casks. Moreover, many of these whiskies were stored in petite hogshead casks, which enhance the flavor, color and complexity of the whisky as the relatively higher surface area of wood encourages more interaction with the whisky. Finally, the sherry-seasoned barrels are combined with a smaller proportion of American oak-aged whisky, creating an extraordinary and elegant whisky.As a result, The Macallan Reflexion Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a highly floral aroma, with notes of vanilla, apricot and apples giving way to a palate accented by chocolate oranges and lemon pie. The finish, which has faint hints of new oak, is dry and incredibly smooth."Wood sits at the very heart of what we do at The Macallan and this range further demonstrates the vital role of our casks in the production of these superb whiskies," says Stuart MacPherson, The Macallans master of wood.Pick up a superb whisky today!

Eager to satisfy the growing demand for high-quality whisky from customers of his grocery store, James Moir established the Glenglassaugh Distillery in 1875. At the time, it was commonplace for store owners to distill or blend their own whisky (a store owner by the name of Johnnie Walker began blending whisky in the 1830s for his own customers). The location of Glenglassaugh Distillery it is situated on the outskirts of Banffshire in the Highlands region of Scotland was chosen because it offered ready access to an incredibly clean and pure water supply: Glassaugh Springs. In addition, the area is surrounded by fields of ripe, plump barley that are ideal for distillation.For over a hundred years, the Glenglassaugh Distillery operated at its original site, producing single malt whiskies that were best known for their starring roles in renowned blended Scotch whiskies, including Cutty Sark and the Famous Grouse. In 1986, however, production at the distillery ceased, and would not be restarted until 2008, when new owners took over Glenglassaugh. While the distillery is again producing new whisky, the new owners discovered they had purchased quite a bit more than the famous distillery itself: the purchase also included a cache of some 400 casks of aging Glenglassaugh Single Malt whisky, each more than twenty years old.Upon this realization, Glenglassaughs former master distiller hand-selected his favorite cask from the remaining cache. The whisky resting in the cask was distilled in 1973, and had matured for over forty years in a refill sherry hogshead barrel. After he purchased the cask, the whisky inside was bottled at cask strength.The Malt Whisky Co. Glenglassaugh 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich aroma of berries, brown sugar, apples and pears. Notes of apricots, raspberries, oak, vanilla and toffee dominate the palate, and lead to a smooth, fruity finish.Only 254 bottles of this whisky were ever made, and only eleven remain that were aware of.

The Famous Grouse was first produced by Matthew Gloag and Son in 1896. Owned by The Erdington Group, its emblem is Scotlands national game bird: the Red Grouse. Gloag, a grocer and wine merchant at 22 Athole Street Perth, Scotland, initially purchased whiskies from distilleries around Scotland. He was also invited to supply the wines for Queen Victorias royal banquet. The Famous Grouse became the highest selling whisky brand in Scotland since 1980.At the heart of the company is the philosophy that founder Matthew Gloag sought to instill in his employees and suppliers with the skills and expertise to create the perfect, best quality blended whisky. Over time, the brand gained extreme popularity, eventually being renamed The Famous Grouse. First launched in 2011 the Naked Grouse has been relaunched as its very own brand. This modern whisky is a marriage of malt whiskies including Glenturret, Highland Park and Macallan matured in first-fill and refill American and European oak casks, and then finished in first-fill Oloroso Sherry butts for a further six months, yielding a very robust flavor.
