Macallan 30 Year Old Scotch

The Macallan malt whisky was always renowned among blenders who used it as a "top dressing" in their blends, but it wasn't until the late 1970's that it was bottled as a single malt. The number of stills at Macallan has grown over the years along with the whiskies popularity. In 1965 the stills where increased from 6-12, in 1974 from 12-18 stills and in 1975 the number was increased to 21 stills. All the whisky produced at the distillery is matured in Oloroso sherry casks. 75% of production is sold as single malt and the remaining 25% goes into blends such as Famous Grouse, Cutty Sark, J & B, Chivas Regal, Ballantines or Long John. The Macallan single malt is a favourite with malt whisky drinkers worldwide and is often given the label "The Rolls-Royce of single malts".
