THROUGH THE AGES

Illustrated by renowned British illustrator and artist Andrew Davidson, with an original score composed by Scottish violinist, Nicola Benedetti, go back in time on Easter Elchies Estate and retrace the steps of pioneer Captain John Grant.

A TALE OF OUR BEGINNINGS

Tales of The Macallan Volume I, The Laird of Easter Elchies, pays homage to Captain John Grant. A pioneer in The Macallan’s own story, he realised the potential of Easter Elchies Estate in 1700; the land that has become home to The Macallan Distillery since 1824.

United by a dedication to craftsmanship and creativity, The Macallan collaborated with Andrew Davidson to create a collection of hand-crafted illustrations depicting John Grant’s story.

Known for his traditional print techniques using wood engravings, Andrew has developed a series of captivating illustrations that fill the stunning almanac book which encapsulates the crystal decanter and precious spirit concealed within. Davidson’s work also features on the decanter itself, which was handcrafted by long-standing collaborators, master French crystal makers, Lalique.
