The Macallan 18 Year Old Fine Oak Scotch Single Malt Whisky

Located on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan 18 for more than three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid, a farmer, started renting the house from Sir Lewis Grant of Grant. Shortly after, he planted barley in the fields around the house and set up the first licensed distillery on the property, naming it Macallan after an old church that had been destroyed by fire in the 15th century. During the winter, when there was little activity on the farm, Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains into whisky, which was frequently consumed straight from the still or sold to tourists.

Currently, 95 of the 370 acres of the Macallan Estate are used for growing the Minstrel barley (an acre yields roughly 2.5 tons of grain year, which is equivalent to 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). To produce a rich and fatty whisky, the distillery also enters into agreements with farmers to buy barley that is high in starch and low in nitrogen.

In late August and early September, the barley is harvested, malted, and then mashed in one of The Macallan’s two mash tuns, a process that takes four to eight hours. Following fermentation with a specially cultivated yeast, the barley is twice distilled using copper-pot stills at The Macallan. The stills’ copper serves as a catalyst, promoting the production of delicious esters while reducing contaminants like sulfur. Furthermore, production manager Alexander Tweedie claims that the oddly tiny stills, which are among “the smallest stills within the Scotch whisky industry,” yield a whisky with a rich, greasy flavor.

After distillation, the Macallan 18 price usa distillers separate the whisky’s heads and tails and reserve around 16% of the spirit to put into maturation casks. This “cut,” one of the highest of any Scottish distillery, makes the whisky richer and fuller. This 18 Year The Macallan Fine Oak is triple cask aged for 18 years in a combination of hand-selected European sherry, American sherry, and American bourbon oak casks. Expect impossibly soft tones of honey, sweet vanilla, and fruits.

Concerning The Macallan

For more than three centuries, The Macallan 18 double cask has called the Easter Elchies House, perched on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, their spiritual home. Alexander Reid founded the first authorized distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an old church that had been destroyed by fire in the fifteenth century, and planted barley in the fields around the rental house in 1820. Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains during the sluggish winter days to create whiskey, which was frequently consumed straight from the still or sold to tourists who were passing through the town.

Currently, 95 of the 370 acres of the Macallan Estate are used for the production of Minstrel barley (an acre yields around 2.5 tons of barley year, which is sufficient to make 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). To produce a rich and fatty whisky, the distillery also enters into agreements with farmers to buy barley that is high in starch and low in nitrogen.

Concerning Scotch

The most widely consumed whisky worldwide, Scotch is regarded as the best of all of them! Each of Scotland’s five whiskey regions—six if you include the unofficially recognized Islands—produces spirits with special qualities and distinctive flavors. (The type of scotch is determined by the type of grain used.)

Grain whisky employs other grains, such as corn or wheat, while malt whisky is manufactured from malted barley. A single distillery producing a single malt whisky produces an exceptional product known as a single malt, but most whiskies are blended from various distilleries, hence the term blended Macallan 18 cost scotch.
