Product Description
- HOME COLLECTION, RIVER SPEY
- The second edition in this series, The Macallan Home Collection, River Spey pays tribute to the majestic River Spey which passes through our 485-acre Estate.
- The Macallan Home Collection, River Spey is the second single malt in this series that is meant to highlight different aspects of the Macallan Estate. The first Home Collection whisky, the Distillery, came out in 2022 and was inspired by the actual building and tools used to produce the whisky. River Spey draws its influence from the eponymous river that runs through the Estate—Macallan controls a 1.5 mile segments of the river, and is dedicated to keeping the water in pristine condition. In addition to being an important habitat for Scottish wild salmon, the River Spey is also the water source for the Macallan’s whisky production.
- This expression will be available in Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico and the United States. There will be limited availability worldwide.
- THE STORY OF THE HOME COLLECTION, RIVER SPEY
- The second release in The Macallan Home Collection is a tribute to our extraordinary Estate, inspired by the natural beauty of The Macallan's birthplace and the River Spey.
- The stunning painting on the front of the pack is the work of photo-realist artist Michelle Lucking, and captures the River Spey in its majestic winter beauty. The Spey, which flows gently through our Estate, is an enduring source of inspiration and an essential part of our whisky-making process. We are proud custodians of our 1.5-mile stretch of the river, protecting its waters and the wildlife around it.
- Michelle works with her fingers to bring her subjects, most often water, to life. She has used natural pigmented pastels to create a collection of six original pastel paintings of the River Spey, three of which are included in the art folio. The colours she has chosen echo the earthy hues of umber, russet and gold found within our whiskies.

- About The Macallan
- The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then we have built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.
- The Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was “Maghellan”, taken from the Gaelic word “magh”, meaning fertile ground and “Ellan”, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months. ©The Edrington Group
