The Macallan has been known for its unsurpassed commitment to the mastery of wood and spirits since its establishment in the 1824. This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and rich whisky. Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallan's copper-pot stills.įollowing distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16% of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky.Īfter the barley is harvested in late August and early September, it is malted before being mashed in one of The Macallan's two mash tuns, a process that takes between four and eight hours. Today, The Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of The Macallan Estate's Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). Reid was a farmer, and soon after he sowed the fields surrounding the home with barley, Reid established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. In 1820, Alexander Reid began renting the home from Sir Lewis Grant of Grant. Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries.
