Anecdotes of Ages Collection
A New Distillery
There are still wonders in the world that await discovery. It is not overstating the case to declare The Macallan’s new Distillery is one of them.
Where Past and Future Meet
One of the 13 original bottles, each distinct label highlights significant stories relating to our history, community, and the beautiful The Macallan Estate.
Blended into the landscape under three turfed mounds, inspired by ancient Scottish ‘brochs’, the space hidden from arial view is a revelation to the visitor. Twenty-four curiously small copper stills are arranged in three circles, below a vaulted roof of 2,500 wooden panels, only three of them with the same dimensions. Miles of gleaming pipework are aligned in staves of geometric beauty.

The Story Behind the Label
Behind these six exceptional people glow the tessellated roof patterns and gloriously sweeping curves of Rogers Stirk, Harbour and Partners’ architectural masterpiece, a seamless fusion of the geometric with the organic.








Rich, flavour notes of sweet oak, hazelnut burst and strawberry are swelled with hints of pineapple, light spiced peach and warm chocolate. Fifty years spent in European sherry seasoned oak casks has cast its spell.
Sir Peter’s grand assembly captures it all: harmony, ingenuity, teamwork and artistic brilliance.
