The Macallan is a Scottish whiskey distillery located in the Speyside region and is one of the most famous and respected single malt whiskey brands in the world. It was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid and is now owned by the Edrington Group.

Although Macallan is now synonymous with the growth of single malt whiskies, it has long been an important part of blended whiskies. It wasn't until the 1980s that, due to the decline in demand for blended whisky, it began to focus more on single malt whisky.

A team led by Allan Shiach, Frank Newlands, Hugh Mitcalf and Willie Phillips launched a campaign that put The Macallan in premium whiskey position, nicknamed "Cognac whisky". The Macallan thus attracted not only whiskey lovers, but also the wider public thanks to unusual advertising campaigns, which were often bohemian and imaginatively provocative.
Another breakthrough came with the launch of the "Fine & Rare" range and the collaboration with Lalique, who created special decanters for rare editions such as 50 and 60 year old whiskies. This approach allowed The Macallan to establish itself in the luxury whiskey market.

The Macallan is one of the most sought-after whiskeys in the world, not only among connoisseurs and collectors, but also as an investment product.

The Macallan Fine Oak 25 Years Old is a prestigious single malt whisky aged in a combination of three cask types: European and American sherry casks and American oak bourbon casks.
