Behind the Home Collection, The Distillery

The Home Collection is a celebration of our time-honoured traditions and community spirit, both encapsulated at The Macallan Distillery and around the world. We take pride in our home, and the people who work here. 

Artist and The Macallan employee Colin Rizza has deep ties to The Macallan  Distillery and the community in the heart of Speyside, Scotland. He has worked at the Distillery for thirty-two years alongside various members of his family including his son, niece, daughter and granddaughter. 

Inspired by the natural beauty of The Macallan’s 485-acre Estate, Colin created the artwork for this fine collection, beautifully depicting in watercolour key features of the Distillery, and shared some of his thoughts about the collection.

"I grew up in Glasgow, my father was born in Elgin and my family have lived in Rothes a few miles from The Macallan Estate for many years. I moved to Rothes in 1982 having fallen in love with the scenery, the quiet way of life, and the people. 

It's a beautiful place to live and I wanted my children to grow up and enjoy all that the area has to offer”.
