About The MacallanScotland
The Macallan distillery stands on the Easter Elchies estate near Craigellachie in Speyside, Scotland. It was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid. It has been wholly owned by Edrington since 1999, and in 2018 a new £140m distillery and visitor centre designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners opened on the estate. Its whisky is known for maturing in sherry casks shipped from Spain, with bourbon casks added in the Fine Oak range from 2004. Limited releases began with the Fine & Rare Collection in 2002, a series of rare and aged whiskies from the distillery's archives, followed by series such as The Edition Series and Classic Cut.
