Home Collection, River Spey

Since The Macallan founder Alexander Reid first established the distillery on the Estate, nearly 200 years ago, The Macallan has been a proud custodian of its 1.5-mile stretch of the River Spey, nurturing and protecting its waters and the wildlife around it.

The River Spey flows gently through The Macallan Estate and is an enduring source of inspiration. This exceptional single malt whisky embodies the nature found at the heart of the distillery, showcasing the natural beauty of the birthplace of the brand. 

In collaboration with photo-realist artist Michelle Lucking, this exceptional whisky is presented in a unique pack featuring a watercolour painting that exquisitely captures the River Spey in its majestic winter beauty.

Michelle has used natural pigmented pastels to create a suite of six original paintings of the River Spey, bringing the water to life with an intensity and exceptional realism which exquisitely captures the light and movement of this great river. The natural colours of The Macallan single malt whisky and those that can be seen in the River Spey and surrounding landscape share a common language, a synergy that has been beautifully captured by Michelle’s work.
