The creation of The Macallan draws upon the unique influences of Spain, North America, and Scotland, and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe six pillars of The Macallan distillery represent the foundation stones for the character of the brand and the creation of its rich spirit. These pillars include a strong sense of place and a wealth of experience in distilling and maturing single malt whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spiritual Home of The Macallan is Easter Elchies House, a Highland manor house built in 1700 from locally quarried sandstone. The house sits on the 485-acre Macallan Estate, which is farmed in harmony with the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Macallan's Curiously Small Stills are some of the smallest on Speyside and are crafted from copper. These unique stills give the spirit maximum contact with the copper, resulting in the rich, fruity, full-bodied flavors characteristic of The Macallan. Each still holds an initial charge of 3,900 litres, and there are 24 in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finest quality spirit is carefully selected from The Macallan's stills to produce the best single malt whisky. This small portion, or \"cut,\" is incredibly selective and responsible for the full-bodied richness of The Macallan's new make spirit, which is selected at just under 70% alcohol by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exceptional oak casks used by The Macallan are crafted to the brand's specifications and account for up to 80% of the final aromas and flavors of its whisky. The brand spends more per cask than any other distillery in sourcing, crafting, seasoning, and caring for its casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll colour in The Macallan's whiskies is natural, resulting from the interaction between the new make spirit and the oak of the maturation casks. The natural colors remain fixed and consistent, rather than fading in sunlight, as artificial colors do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peerless spirit of The Macallan results from the brand's unique combination of place, production, people, and passion, resulting in a whisky that is unmatched and peerless in every way.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-26T15:23:31+10:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"banner","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"THE MACALLAN"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-05-15T17:20:51+10:00","alt":null,"width":1600,"height":600,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/The_Macallan_12_Collection_The_Wine_Providore.jpg?v=1684135251"}},{"id":271857844374,"handle":"whisky-sale-july-2021","updated_at":"2024-03-27T17:25:05+11:00","published_at":"2021-07-12T09:54:01+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Whisky Sale July 2021","body_html":"July Whisky Sale"},{"id":9281634332,"handle":"whisky","updated_at":"2024-03-28T21:05:02+11:00","published_at":"2017-10-14T14:51:41+11:00","sort_order":"price-asc","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Whisky Store","body_html":"","image":{"created_at":"2019-08-08T04:33:02+10:00","alt":"","width":1600,"height":600,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Banner_Whiksy_Store.jpg?v=1565202782"}},{"id":283622277270,"handle":"white-wine","title":"WHITE WINE","updated_at":"2024-03-29T04:55:02+11:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-11-02T15:36:18+11:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Chardonnay"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Chenin Blanc"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Pinot Grigio"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Semillon"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Semillon Sauvignon Blanc"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Torrontes"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Chablis"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"pinot gris"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"pinot grigio"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"sauvignon blanc"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"riesling"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"albarino"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"moscato"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"semillon"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"vermentino"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"white blend"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"verdelho"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"pecorino"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"garganega"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"fiano"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"bianco"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Luigi Bormioli"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Glencairn"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Champagne"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Veuve"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Jack"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Antipodes"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"never never"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"gin"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Upshot"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-04-16T19:06:54+10:00","alt":null,"width":1600,"height":600,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/White_Wine_1.jpg?v=1681636014"}}]
When matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain, our rich, fruity and full bodied ‘new make’ spirit is transformed into a classic single malt. Once filled, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed in the same casks for 12 years and is brought together in this rich and complex whisky characterized by spice and dried fruit and a natural rich golden colour.
