The Macallan Scotch Whiskey takes great pleasure in its Six Pillars, which it claims are the six factors contributing to its success. The first is Easter Elchies House, located on the 485-acre Macallan Estate and serving as its spiritual home. Its tiny stills, which aid in concentrating the spirit and give it its distinctively rich flavor, are the second pillar. Then, a very small amount of spirit is take to create the base of the whisky. The rich, entirely natural color of the liquid is then develope in premium oak barrels.

History

Founded by Alexander Reid in 1824, The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally license. The name of the area ‘Maghellan’ is get from the Gaelic word ‘magh,’ meaning fertile ground and ‘Ellan,’ from the Irish Monk St. Fillan who buy Christianity to Scotland in the 8^th century. As the reputation of the distillery grew and sales increased throughout the 20^th century, Macallan had a major expansion between 1951 and 1963. In 1999, a majority shareholding in the brand was bought by the Edrington Group. Today it is one of the giants of the whisky industry.
