- ONE OF THE MACALLAN’S EARLY PIONEERS
Tales of The Macallan Volume I pays tribute to Captain John Grant, Laird of Easter Elchies. The story of Captain John Grant, The Macallan’s first true custodian, tells the tale of a realisation of a dream, the transformation of a landscape and a new beginning. Living and working on Easter Elchies Estate, he paved the way for The Macallan and cultivated the influence of nature and community spirit.
This is the first edition in a remarkable series of single malt whiskies that pay tribute to The Macallan Pioneers and their stories.
Encased in a Lalique crystal decanter, the rare whisky distilled in 1950 and bottled in 2021 is concealed within an extraordinary 800-page almanac. The book tells the story of Captain John Grant and features beautiful illustrations by renowned illustrator and artist, Andrew Davidson. - A CREATIVE COLLABORATION
The exquisite, handcrafted crystal decanter that encases this distinguished and rare expression was created by our long-standing collaborator, master French crystal maker Lalique. The decanter is concealed within an extraordinary almanac book made by traditional bookmaking company Shepherds Bookbinders, featuring beautiful illustrations by British artist and illustrator, Andrew Davidson.
Andrew Davidson drew on the stories from Captain John Grant’s life and his ties to Easter Elchies Estate to create stunning wood engraved prints. A true work of art, each chapter tells the story of Captain John Grant through his illustrations, which are also etched into the crystal Lalique decanter which encapsulates the precious spirit. - EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTER
This distinctive and rare single malt was carefully crafted by The Macallan Lead Whisky Maker, Sarah Burgess. Distilled in 1950 and bottled in 2021, it was selected for its exceptional flavour and character. A sublime whisky, it is a celebration of the life and legacy of Captain John Grant.

- 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
