Founded in 1824, Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then, it has established itself as one of the most famous single malt producers in the world. As the distillery celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2024, it continues to uphold the same principals as its founders by creating exceptional whiskies.

From those early days, one of the things that distinguished this pioneer of single malt was its sourcing of excellent casks – originally from the sherry producers of Jerez in Spain and later from the United States.

MEET KIRSTEEN CAMPBELL

Hailing from Thurso in the Highlands, in 2019 Kirsteen Campbell became the first woman in Macallan’s 200 year history to take on the position of master whisky maker. Starting her career in 2001, at a laboratory responsible for determining the quality of new make spirits, Campbell discovered her love of Scotch whisky. This passion and her keen nose led her to Macallan, where she leads the distilling team and continues to drive innovation.
