The Story Behind The Macallan Trilogy
A Cask-Led Flavour Experience
Our passion and expertise in bringing the best out of wood and spirit is embodied by our 12 year old Macallan expressions, which expose the individuality of cask selection and the distinctiveness of their flavours.
First came The Macallan Sherry Oak, widely referred to as the 'classic' Macallan, which offers a quintessential sherry oak cask experience. When matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, our spirit becomes rich, fruity and full bodied and is curated into a classic single malt range characterised by spice, dried fruits and mature oak. A depth of flavour develops through the range from 12 to 40 years old.
Then as The Macallan mastery of the union of spirit and wood developed further, the introduction of Triple Cask Matured (previously known as The Macallan Fine Oak) evolved the classic Macallan experience with a complex yet light combination of three cask types that deliver an easy and approachable style. This is a range that brings together whiskies matured in the three cask types of European Oak seasoned with sherry, American oak seasoned with sherry and American Bourbon casks.
Continuing our creative search for excellence led to the more recent creation of The Macallan Double Cask; taking the best of two worlds to balance the classic Macallan style with the sweet influence of sherry seasoned American oak.
Each with its own cask story and flavour profile, The Macallan Trilogy unveils the skill and craft of The Macallan Masters in a collection of cask led flavour experiences.
Inside The Macallan
The Six Pillars
Discover the foundation stones for the character of The Macallan and the creation of our rich spirit. They encompass the strong sense of place at the heart of The Macallan distillery and our estate, together with our long experience of distilling and maturing a single malt whisky.
SPIRITUAL HOME
Built in 1700 from locally quarried sandstone for Captain John Grant, our Spiritual Home, Easter Elchies House, is a fine example of a Highland manor house. The 485-acre Macallan Estate lies in an area of natural beauty and is farmed sensitively, in harmony with the environment.
CURIOUSLY SMALL STILLS
The Macallan’s Curiously Small Stills are amongst the smallest on Speyside. Their unique size and shape give the spirit maximum contact with the copper, helping to concentrate the ‘new make’ spirit and provide the rich, fruity, full-bodied flavours characteristic of The Macallan. There are 24 of these spirit stills, crafted from copper, each holding an initial ‘charge’ of 3,900 litres.
FINEST CUT
We carefully select the finest quality spirit from our stills to ensure we create the best single malt whisky. This finest cut ensures we produce our signature viscous mouth-feel and fruity aroma and flavour. This small portion, or ‘cut’ is incredibly selective and one of the finest in the industry. It is primarily responsible for the full-bodied richness of The Macallan new make spirit. This clear colourless spirit is selected at just under 70% alcohol by volume. This distinctly robust and characterful ‘new make’ spirit is the starting point for all Macallan.
EXCEPTIONAL OAK CASKS
Our exceptional oak casks are the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, natural colours and distinctive aromas and flavours of The Macallan. These oak casks are crafted to our own specifications and account for up to 80% of the final aromas and flavours of The Macallan. Because of this, we spend more per cask than any other distillery in sourcing, crafting, seasoning and caring for its casks.
NATURAL COLOUR
All colour in The Macallan whiskies, bottled by the distillery, is natural. Only the interaction of the ‘new make’ spirit with the oak of the maturation casks delivers the rich and natural diversity of colour throughout the range, from light oak through to darkest mahogany. These natural colours remain ‘fixed’, as opposed to artificial colour which fades relatively quickly in bright sunlight. Great skill is required by the Master Whisky Maker to achieve consistency of natural colour from bottling to bottling.
PEERLESS SPIRIT
From place and production, to people and passion. The Macallan is the result of such defining mastery and intricacy, it is unmatched; peerless in each and every way.
