THE MACALLAN ESTATE OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT FROM STUART CASSELLS, GENERAL MANAGER, THE MACALLAN ESTATE
We are pleased to announce that we will begin a phased re-opening of The Macallan Estate from 29 May 2021.
The past year has been exceptionally difficult for our community and communities around the world. The impact has been significant, but we are delighted to be able to re-open our doors to guests.
To protect our staff and guests, we will be operating a reduced level of experiences and have undertaken significant staff training to create a safe and welcoming environment, with social distancing and enhanced cleaning schedules at the centre of our re-opening plans.
Our Distillery is at the heart of The Macallan Estate and we look forward to welcoming our guests to the birthplace of The Macallan.
