Description
The Macallan Tales of the Macallan Vol. 2 is an exceptional whisky that celebrates the history and spiritual heritage of The Macallan. Released in the distillery's 200th anniversary year, this edition honors Alexander Reid, the visionary founder of The Macallan. In 1824, he founded the distillery on the Easter Elchies Estate, laying the foundations for the outstanding quality that characterizes The Macallan worldwide today.
Reid's philosophy was that smaller stills produce more intense flavors and richer character - a principle that remains one of the most distinctive features of The Macallan today. This second edition of the prestigious Tales of The Macallan series reflects the key moments that have shaped the distillery's history.
Distilled in 1949 and bottled in 2022, the whisky was carefully selected at the height of its maturation. It is presented in an artfully crafted Lalique crystal decanter, adorned with fine etchings by Andrew Davidson, telling the journey of Alexander Reid from teacher to farmer and master distiller. The accompanying volume contains beautifully illustrated chapters that impressively document the story of Reid and the development of The Macallan. With a worldwide edition of only 344 bottles, this limited edition is not only a masterpiece of whisky art, but also a true collector's item.
