Since then, Macallan has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was “Maghellan”, taken from the Gaelic word “magh”, meaning fertile ground and “Ellan”, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"show-more-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan width=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo longer available as of 2018, the rare and exceptionally collectible Macallan 1824 Collection Estate Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exquisite archive iteration crafted solely for the keenest and most discerning of connoisseurs. Bottled at UK 80-proof (the equivalent to US 91.4-proof or 45.7% ABV), the Estate Reserve is a superb sherry-influenced single malt originally released for the travel retail market. This beloved bottling is a collaborative effort between Macallan's master whisky maker and John Ramsay, a part of the distinguished Glenrothes Distillery team - and is a blend of some of the rarest distillate the Macallan Distillery has to offer. Matured in select sherry-seasoned hogshead for an undeclared duration of time, the Macallan 1824 Estate Reserve opens with a nose of dark sherry, citrus, and vanilla over a palate of ginger, cloves, pepper, oak, and dark chocolate. Profoundly balanced with a long, silky finish - this delectable Scotch whisky is a true Macallan masterpiece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Macallan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43810313863231,"sku":"5010314078300","price":1488.88,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/5786\/4255\/files\/est.webp?v=1788151433","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyhub.com.au\/products\/the-macallan-1824-collection-estate-reserve-single-malt-scotch-whisky-700ml","provider":"The Whisky Hub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
