How this product is made
Estate-Grown Barley: The whisky starts with barley that is grown exclusively on The Macallan’s Easter Elchies Estate. This barley is carefully cultivated in the rich and fertile soil of the estate, contributing to the whisky’s unique flavor profile.
Malting and Mashing: The estate-grown barley is malted and combined with hot water in a process known as mashing, producing a sugary liquid known as wort.
Fermentation: The wort is then fermented with yeast in large washbacks, where the sugars are converted into alcohol, resulting in “wash.”
Distillation: The wash is distilled twice in copper pot stills, allowing The Macallan to retain the character and rich flavors of the spirit.
Aging: The distilled spirit is then aged in oak casks, predominantly seasoned with sherry, in The Macallan’s exceptional warehouses. The maturation process allows the whisky to develop its distinctive and complex flavors.
Bottling: Once the whisky has reached its desired age and character, it is carefully selected, bottled, and labeled as The Macallan Estate for distribution.
Technical Details
