About The Macallan
The Macallan is a Speyside single malt matured predominantly in sherry-seasoned oak casks, which the company commissions from Spanish forests and seasons itself. Its rare bottlings hold most of the record prices ever paid for whisky at auction. Edrington owns it, and the cask programme is among the largest capital commitments in Scotch whisky.
