The Macallan Home Collection - River Spey Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
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.

Tasting Notes
Colour
A warm golden-amber hue with coppery russet undertones and subtle umber shadows, evoking river-warmed autumn light.
Nose
Aromas of rich raisin and sultana mingle with cinnamon, apple and pear, balanced by sweet oak, treacle sponge and vanilla.
Palate
Plush sultana unfolds into velvety butterscotch, while toasted oak frames the sweetness. Subtle chocolate and warming nutmeg weave through, finished with a delicate hint of anise.
Finish
Medium-length finish, where toasted oak and spice linger gracefully, leaving a warm, refined impression.
