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.
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.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with radiant copper tones and a touch of mahogany, shimmering like sunset through crystal.
Nose
Grapefruit zest with antique oak, vanilla and melon; a whisper of wood smoke, nutmeg and ripe plum, finished with almond—a bright, refined nose hinting at decades in the cask.
Palate
Juicy peach and crisp apple open the palate, with wood spice of ginger and hints of clove. Sweet wood smoke drifts in the background, finished with a bright Yuzu citrus lift.
Finish
Medium-length and elegantly clean, it lingers with bright citrus zest and the mellow sweetness of oak, leaving a refined, warm finish.
