An obsession with quality has been the hallmark of The Macallan since its founding by Alexander Reid on a plateau above the river Spey in north-east Scotland. The distillery is surrounded by a 485 acre estate with Easter Elchies House at its heart.

The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then we have built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.

The Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was “Maghellan”, taken from the Gallic word “magh”, meaning fertile ground and “Ellan”, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.

The reputation of The Macallan is built on a product of outstanding quality and distinctive character, founded upon a set of guiding principles. From place to process, people and passion, the Six Pillars are the backdrop to The Macallan's unique spirit.

Our reputation for the extraordinary is characterised by the exceptional oak casks for which The Macallan is renowned. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of The Macallan Master of Wood, the hand-picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team. For every expression of The Macallan, the quality of the whisky is largely dependent on the quality of the oak casks it is matured in, as well as the quality of our 'new make' spirit distilled from water, yeast and barley. With up to 80% of The Macallan’s final character and flavour determined by cask quality, the oak cask is the most prominent factor in ensuring and delivering the quality and style of our single malt.

All of our whiskies take 100% of their colour from the wood in which they are matured. As wood is a natural product, each tree is different and in turn, imparts different flavours and colours to the whisky during maturation. The skill of the whisky makers ensures colour is as consistent as possible from bottling to bottling, through the management and selection of the casks which provide the spectrum of natural colour essential to The Macallan single malt.

The Macallan works closely with fully integrated ‘tree to finished seasoned cask’ companies in Spain; to identify the oak trees in the forests of northern Spain, fell the trees, saw and air dry the oak staves before shipping them to the south for further air-drying to reduce the moisture even more. The casks are then seasoned for 18 months before making the journey to Scotland where they are filled with The Macallan ‘new make’ spirit.

EXTRACTING THE EXTRAORDINARY

A NIGHT ON EARTH: THE JOURNEY

Celebrating the special times we spend with those who mean the most to us, A Night on Earth - The Journey captures the joy of the New Year. It is a time when we gather to acknowledge the days gone by and make plans for the future.

This annual release, A Night on Earth - The Journey is a unique expression created using a perfectly balanced combination of exceptional first-fill American ex-bourbon barrels, along with European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks. Created in collaboration with acclaimed Chinese artist, Nini Sum, this release features innovative multi-layered packaging that provides an exceptional unboxing experience.

To create The Balvenie PortWood 21 year old single malt whisky, a marriage of rare Balvenie is transferred to port casks, or pipes, which have held fine port wines.

Here it is sampled regularly by The Balvenie Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE to ensure that just the right amount of character is imparted by the port casks, enhancing and developing the single malt whilst preserving its original characteristics.

Considered by many to be David’s finest creation, this whisky is one of his proudest achievements and has won an array of highly coveted industry awards since its release in 1996.

In duty free, The Balvenie PortWood Aged 21 Years is non chill-filtered and bottled at a higher strength of 47.6% abv.

First distilled in 1973, Longrow is a double distilled, heavily peated single malt produced at Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown. The malt is peat dried for up to 48 hours to give the whisky a unique Campbeltown-style smoky character. Less than 100 casks of Longrow are filled each year, making this whisky something of a hidden gem worth seeking out.

Dewar's 12 Year Flavor Notes: Honey, homemade candy apples, and fudge. Warm, buttery, and mellow. Juicy raisins and fresh citrus, with subtle vanilla. Clean, full, and lively. Melted caramel with a trace of oak. Rounded, smooth, and long.

To create our signature 10-year-old expression, classic unpeated BenRiach spirit is three cask matured for over ten years in bourbon barrels, virgin oak and Oloroso sherry casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly combined by our Master Blender, adding rich notes of orchard fruits, luscious sweetness and toasted oak spice, working in harmony with our fresh and sweet, fruit-laden style.

A classic Island dram from the Isle of Skye. Aged for a minimum of 10 years in American oak casks, this welcome member of Diageo's Classic Malts series has been recognised numerous times for its excellence. Immensely satisfying stuff, with whiffs of warm peat blending with coastal air, balanced by orchard fruit and juicy barley. A spectacular after dinner dram.

It was an Editor's Choice at Whisky Magazine, a gold medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017 and was awarded 'Best Islands Single Malt' at the 2017 World Whiskies Awards.

Dewar’s 19 Year-Old, “The Champions Edition”, is the newest member in the lineup of super premium Blended Scotch Whiskies. This limited time offering from Master Blender Stephanie Macleod was created in partnership with the USGA to commemorate the 121st U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. 

With a minimum age of 19 years and finished in ex-American Bourbon casks, Dewar’s 19 Year-Old is unique in every sense and is highlighted by rich notes of vanilla, honey, toffee and ripe cherries.

Auchentoshan Select 

Famed for its exclusive use of triple distillation, Auchentoshan is based on the outskirts of Glasgow and was owned for the duration of the 1960s by Tennents brewery. They sold it to Eadie Cairns at the end of the decade, who upgraded the site and began officially bottling it as a single malt. The distillery passed through the hands of Morrison Bowmore before becoming part of the Beam Suntory table today. Unusually, none of the Auchentoshan output is reserved for blends, meaning there has been a wealth of distillery bottled single casks and independent releases throughout the years. 

Prior to the launch of the Three Wood, this was the introductory single malt from Authentoshan. The Select was moved to their duty free range in 2008 before it was eventually discontinued.

This bottle was part of a private collection until recently. If you have any questions or would like more photos just ask!

How do you make whisky the right way? Why, you make it yourself. Balvenie believes in mastering and controlling the Five Crafts of whisky: barley, malt, stills, barrels and the malt master. They handle every aspect of creating The Balvenie 12 year Doublewood, from the first seed to the final approval of Malt Master David C. Stewart, whose nose and palate have been sharpened at the distillery since 1962. The Balvenie presents the ultimate line of painstakingly crafted Scotch whiskies. The Double Wood ages 12 years in American Oak Bourbon barrels, then finishes in Spanish Oak Sherry casks. The final product carries the sweet fruit from the Sherry, charred notes from the Bourbon and the character of a meticulous crew of craftspeople. This Speyside whisky tastes fine after dinner or with a Maduro cigar. The nose carries dark chocolate, raspberries and fresh bread. The taste blends berries and cherries with pepper and exotic spices. The finish is long and viscous with lingering hints of red fruit. The 12 Year is a great addition to your Scotch collection. You'll have some Highland, Islay, Lowland and Cambeltown, but this is one of the only whiskies you'll find aged in two different barrels. It sets itself apart. How should you drink it? Pour it in your favorite straight-sided glass, neat. Put a glass of ice or water next to it. Some sippers like a splash of water "to wake up the whisky." Have your first sip straight, then drop in a cube to cool it a touch. The water will expand the flavor. Any way you have it, you'll taste the love and care of dedicated distillers.

NOSE:

The tasty combination of fruit and spice, with fresh aromas of green apple balanced by richer, spicier notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and Parma violets, along with a touch of milk chocolate.

PALATE:

Cleaner and fruitier on the palate cut grass, lemon, and orange peel then richer notes of woody spice arrive.

FINISH:

The refreshing citrus notes are balanced by the toasty oak.

"The world of fine whisky meets the world of artisanal coffee in this second edition of The Harmony Collection. A limited annual release series, the incredible flavor profile is inspired by the intense Ethiopian Arabica coffee bean and reveals a robust and beautifully balanced tasting experience. This unique and distinct expression is presented in an elegant, sustainable box crafted from leftover coffee bean husks making it the perfect gift for coffee and whisky lovers alike." —producer

Drinking scotch is not for the faint of heart. However, that doesn't mean it comes with a huge price tag. That's why there's Dewar's White Label. Distilled for the man or woman who wants a smooth scotch without all the extras, Dewar's White Label is where it's at, wherever you want to be. Since 1899, this scotch whiskey has been produced with a time-honored traditional distillation process. Honey, vanilla, apple and wood combine into a versatile and soothing mix with an aftertaste of smokiness and a bit of fudge. That means you can indulge in divine chocolatey goodness without having to head to a candy shop or the grocery store. The best way to drink Dewar's White Label is to uncork it and let it breathe. Wait just a few minutes before you pour it into your favorite rocks glass or snifter. This allows the blend to explode with flavor, leaving you in its wake. It's not often you want to take a grenade to the face, but if it's Dewar's White Label, you'll probably let it slide. A predisposition for mischief may also call for a Dewar's on its own. Keep this in the cabinet for times that call for fun and playfulness. If you simply must have a cocktail, Dewar's White Label is nothing short of a fantastic mixer. Blend it with sweet vermouth and bitter for a classy Rob Roy. For something subtler, combine equal parts Dewar's White Label with amaretto for a delicious beverage.

A tale of the forest is Glenmorangie’s first whisky crafted from barley kilned with woodland botanicals.

This is a Glenmorangie as lush and leafy as the forest itself. With aromas of pine needles, woodland moss, juniper’s sharpness, and tastes of eucalyptus, mint, bitter orange and distant smoke, this limited edition is a whisky to surround, delight and surprise you, whether you enjoy it deep in a forest or in cocktails at home.

Macallan 12 Year Old Early 2000s Round Bottle

When Macallan assumed the responsibility for their own bottlings from Campbell, Hope & King in 1980, they inherited both an 8 and 12 year old age-statement release, quickly adding a new 10 year old into the mix as well. The 12 year old however was the firm favourite, and is the only of the three still in production today, bottled as part of the Sherry Oak Cask line of the core range.

This is the packaging used between 1999 and 2004. Imported to the USA by Remy Amerique, New York.

Laphroaig is a highly-acclaimed brand of premium Islay single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Larphoraig Distillery,
founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston. The brand has changed hands multiple times over the years beginning in
the 1960s until it was purchased by Beam Suntory of Suntory Holdings in 2014. Laphroaig is recognized as producing some of
the most deeply flavored Scotch whiskies on the market and is the only whisky to carry the Royal Warrant of the Prince of
Wales, awarded in 1994. The brand offers a range of products including several very rare and expensive expressions such as
their discontinued 18 year old iteration (last offered in 2015). Notably, Laphroaig is unlike many other blended Scotch makers
in that it malts its own barley. The barley is finished in special kilns with over 205 years of seasoning – leaving a truly defining
note that Laphroaig fans have come to know and crave.

*Please note this product does not come with a box* Originally
released around 2000, this great dram is becoming rarer and rarer.
Laphroaig 30yo has garnered many plaudits, including a Double Gold
Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2005.

Lammerlaw is a blend of New Zealand malt whiskies developed to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the marketing of Wilson’s New Zealand whisky products, distilled at New Zealands only whisky distillery, in Dunedin.

The name Lammerlaw relates to the Lammerlaw mountain range which is located some 30 miles westward of Dunedin.

Oak, Smoke, Fire… and Rock. Flaming Heart takes its name from a song by M. Ward. For the label of this seventh version, we have made the rock music inspiration still more explicit. Stranger & Stranger, the design agency behind the last four incarnations, created a beautiful framework for the label, drawing on source material from the world of heavy metal posters. They then had a lot of fun layering references to iconic rock acts. Starting with Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ album artwork, and embracing Led Zeppelin and Captain Beefheart, fans of classic rock will enjoy scouting out the easter eggs.

The whisky inspired by a rock song – on tour again in 2022. Like metal bands, some whiskies need an audience – others command one. Flaming Heart has always enjoyed performing to passionate fans. Oak, smoke and fire reunite for a seventh time, fusing pyrotechnics with deliciousness. The whisky is built around a new power trio of peated malts from the Caol Ila, Laphroaig and Talisker distilleries, while spice from our trademark French oak custom barrels delivers both loudness and a luxurious mouthfeel. As well as being perhaps the fruitiest Flaming Heart of recent years, you will experience a very special encore that combines remnant stocks of Peat Monster Arcana, our release for Belgian importer The Nectar’s 15th Anniversary, and a little of the 2018 version of Flaming Heart. We love the connection to musical sampling, bringing past smoky riffs into a new arrangement. Visit our website for a playlist to accompany this, our most anthemic of whiskies. 

Ultramarine is inspired by an iconic deluxe blended Scotch, in particular the first bottlings of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Harnessing old school Sherry casks and ethereal peatiness, Ultramarine highlights the enchanting possibilities, and the breadth of flavours and textures, afforded by combinations of aged malt and grain whiskies.

Flavour Profile: Toffee, antique polished oak and complex peatiness are primary aromas, with a palate of roasted pecan, raisins and smoke.

As good at home sipped from a hip- flask on the coastal cliffs of Scotland as it is after a day’s whale-watching in the waters off Rhode Island.
