About the Distillery
The Macallan Distillery, located in Craigellachie, Scotland, is one of the most iconic and revered distilleries in the world of Scotch whisky.

How this product is made
Malted Barley: The whisky starts with the finest malted barley, which is milled and combined with hot water to create a sugary liquid known as wort.
Fermentation: The wort is fermented with yeast in large washbacks, where the sugars convert into alcohol, creating a liquid called “wash.”
Distillation: The wash is then distilled in copper pot stills in a traditional process that separates the alcohol from impurities, resulting in “new make spirit.”
Cask Selection and Aging: The Macallan Rare Cask is unique in that it is crafted from a careful selection of diverse oak casks, including Spanish sherry-seasoned oak, American oak, and some casks made from rare oak species. These casks have been previously used to age wines, sherries, or bourbons, infusing the whisky with layers of complex flavors and aromas.
Blending and Bottling: The whisky is then skillfully blended by The Macallan’s master whisky maker, bringing together a harmonious combination of casks to create the Rare Cask expression. Once the desired blend is achieved, the whisky is usually non-chill filtered to retain its natural flavors and bottled at a higher strength.
Technical Details
