WORLD GOURMET SUMMIT 2007 http://www.worldgourmetsummit.com Print page The Macallan - Official Whisky The Macallan is one of the world’s most awarded and admired whiskies. It is the Single Malt against which all others are judged. The six pillars are the unique elements that combined make The Macallan so special. • The Spiritual Home. Built in 1700, Easter Elchies House, a Jacobean manor in Speyside Scotland, is The Macallan’s spiritual home. • Curiously Small Stills. The Macallan’s curiously small and uniquely shaped copper stills help to concentrate the flavour of the spirit. • The Finest Cut. The ‘cut’ is the amount of distilled spirit collected from the stills. The Macallan takes only the best of the best, typically just 16%, is selected to fill our casks. • Exceptional Oak Casks. Our unfaltering obsession with selecting exceptional oak casks brings an unsurpassed, timeless quality to The Macallan. • Natural Colour. At The Macallan, natural colour is something we insist on. It is the interaction of spirit and wood alone which delivers the rich variety of colour. • Peerless Spirit. The Macallan remains the Single Malt against which all others must be judged. It is sought after and savoured by whisky lovers who recognise it as the world’s most precious whisky. The Macallan Fine & Rare is an unrivalled collection of 40 vintage Macallans from 1926 to 1976. It represents the very best of the oldest maturing stock, possessing an extraordinary diversity of colour, aroma and flavour. Today, The Macallan Fine & Rare collection represents a journey of discovery. |
