Kirsteen works with our Whisky Mastery Team, which has been expanded to deliver the outstanding quality, natural colours and distinctive aromas and flavours that define our world-renowned whisky. Our enhanced Whisky Mastery Team has integrated the role of Master of Wood to reflect the complete whisky making process and the vital influence of wood on the character of The Macallan whisky.

The six-strong Team includes: 

• Kirsteen Campbell, Master Whisky Maker; 

• Stuart MacPherson, Master of Wood, who has 40 years’ experience working with The Macallan’s exceptional oak casks; 

• Sarah Burgess, Lead Whisky Maker; 

• Polly Logan, Whisky Maker; 

• Steven Bremner, Whisky Maker;

• Russell Greig, Sample Room Assistant.

This team oversees maturation and whisky making working hand in hand from the very beginning of the journey to bring out the best of spirit and wood. It additionally brings together the next generation of whisky makers with The Macallan’s most experienced and skilled craftsmen and women, securing the legacy of almost two centuries of whisky making heritage. As part of this approach, apprentices with natural sensory talent will be recruited into the Whisky Mastery Team, where they will learn the art of whisky making from the breadth and depth of experience within the team.
