Product Description
The Macallan Estate Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a remarkable tribute to the distillery's heritage and the land that has been integral to its success since 1824. Crafted by Whisky Maker Sarah Burgess, this unique expression celebrates The Macallan's 485-acre Easter Elchies estate, where a portion of the barley is grown and distilled only once a year, over a single week. The estate’s barley, nurtured by the riverbanks of the iconic River Spey, provides the base for a whisky that embodies The Macallan's peerless provenance and history. The Macallan Estate offers a complex blend of citrus freshness and the rich, traditional sherry notes that the brand is renowned for, culminating in a remarkably long and refined finish.
Presented in a striking gift pack that includes a hand-cut slate panel and aerial photography showcasing the estate’s barley fields, The Macallan Estate offers an immersive experience into the heart of the distillery’s roots. This whisky offers a rare opportunity to savour spirit created from The Macallan’s own estate-grown barley, allowing you to taste the land that has made this whisky legendary.
