The Macallan was licensed in 1824 at Easter Elchies, on the River Spey, and is now one of the best-known single malts in the world. It’s built its reputation on sherry-seasoned oak: casks made in Spain, filled with sherry for a period, then emptied and shipped to Speyside. Macallan’s stills are some of the smallest in Speyside, which gives a rich, oily spirit that stands up to long ageing in heavy sherry wood.

Collectors of Macallan’s limited releases, and anyone who wants the decanter as much as the whisky. If you’re planning to drink it, it’s dense, dark and sherried, and it deserves a good glass and an evening with nothing else on.
