In the saga of The Macallan’s early days, Tales of The Macallan Volume I honors Captain John Grant, the visionary owner of Easter Elchies. Captain John Grant, the inaugural custodian of The Macallan, unfolds a narrative of dreams realized, landscapes transformed, and a fresh start. Residing and toiling on the Easter Elchies Estate, he laid the foundation for The Macallan, fostering the symbiosis of nature and community spirit.
This marks the debut edition in an extraordinary series of single malt whiskies commemorating The Macallan Pioneers and their remarkable tales. The precious whisky, distilled in 1950 and bottled in 2021, is concealed within a stunning Lalique crystal decanter, housed in an exceptional 800-page almanac. Within its pages, the almanac narrates the captivating story of Captain John Grant, adorned with exquisite illustrations crafted by the renowned artist Andrew Davidson.
