The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world.
A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports.
Distilled in the 1940s, as britain comes out of the Second World War, looking to the future not knowing what is on the horizon. After generations of stillmen, and well into a new century the whisky was to be drawn and filled into 600 Lalique crystal decanters. Then to be ensconced in a bespoke beautifully layered and highly polished wooden case designed by the same people who invisioned the new distillery, Burgess Studio. and handcrafted by Royal Warrant cabinet makers NEJ Stevenson.
A collaboration of masters from across the fields of Whisky, Crystal, Architecture, Construction and Craftsmanship. Lalique 72 marks a new beginning in The Macallan story.
