The Macallan’s reputation is built upon the foundation of six pillars (found on their website www.themacallan.com):

Spiritual Home – Easter Elchies House built in 1700 which looks out across hills, fields and rivers that provide the backdrop and fundamental ingredients for The Macallan.

Curiously Small Stills – The Macallan is distilled in the smallest stills on Speyside. Their unique size and shape ensure the rich, fruity, full bodied flavors.

Finest Cut – The Macallan takes only the finest “cuts” or the best of the best of any distillery in Scotland. (To read exactly what that means you absolutely must visit the site.)

Exceptional Oak Casks – The Macallan Master of Wood, George Espie, selects only the finest in hand-crafted or hand-picked oak casks for The Macallan to ensure the proper aroma, flavor and color in each variety.

Natural Color – Spirit and wood alone combine to create The Macallan.

Peerless Spirit – Bob Dalgarno, Master Whisky Maker keeps a watchful eye on each cask, selecting the moment when each is perfect for bottling to create “The Macallan…the world’s most precious whisky.”

This sample case contains a mini version of each. A unique collectible.
