Macallan Home Collection River Spey

Situated in the Speyside region of Scotland, The Macallan distillery is nestled amongst the rolling hills and crystal clear waters of the River Spey. The river, known for its pristine water quality and abundant supply of Scottish salmon, has played a crucial role in the production of The Macallan whisky since it was founded in 1824. The River Spey’s natural ability to filter and purify the water is a vital ingredient in creating the distinctive flavor and smoothness of Macallan’s whisky.

Furthermore, the Macallan Home Collection River Spey is a limited edition series of single malt scotches that showcase the characteristics of the river in each bottle.

The first release in the collection is called “The Rapids”, a nod to the fast-flowing sections of the river. The Rapids is a perfect representation of the power and intensity of the River Spey. Shop Now

The second release, “The Bend”, is an ode to the meandering curves of the river. This whisky is aged in American oak barrels and exudes a smooth and mellow flavor with hints of citrus, vanilla, and honey. Just like the gentle turns of the river, The Bend is a balanced and approachable single malt that is sure to delight any whisky connoisseur.

The final release, “The Estuary”, is named after the mouth of the River Spey where it meets the sea. This whisky is matured in a combination of European and American oak casks, producing a complex and rich flavor with notes of oak, dark chocolate, and dried fruits. The Estuary is a reflection of the depth and complexity of the river as it nears its end.
