Malt distillery from Speyside
Another distillery located in Speyside that has been producing whisky for over 200 years is The Macallan distillery.
If the company had not been lost in 1996, it would have been one of the last independent companies today, like Glenfiddich, Glenfarclas or Springbank. At that time, however, Highland Distillers made a takeover offer to the company, which was actually well below its market value. However, an earlier deal was the downfall of the entrepreneurs and they had to sell. In an earlier financial uncertainty, a 25% share was sold to the Japanese Suntory company, and Rémy also owned 1%. Highland Destillers acquired these company shares, made a pact with Suntory and from then on owned the majority of shares in Macallan.
One could only hope that this takeover would not cause Macallan Whisky to lose its good reputation as the 'Rolls Royce' of whisky, but fortunately it hasn't. Today it still wins prizes in numerous tastings and record prices are paid at auctions for old Macallan bottlings.
Concept No. 2
It is the second of three bottlings in the Concept series from Macallan.
The special thing about this bottling is that it targets the two passions of master blender Steven Bremner. He combines whisky and music.
Whisky & music, how do they fit together? Bremner says that making whisky is in some ways the same as creating a song. First, the base note must be determined, with whisky this is the basic taste, then you can build up layer by layer around it. With both products, individual elements can be changed to go either in one direction or the other.
Like Concept No. 1, No. 2 was also matured in different barrels. The longer maturation phase took place in Miguel Martin sherry barrels, followed by a finish in ex-bourbon barrels. The tasting notes show aromas of toffee, stewed apples and a hint of vanilla. Oak wood and spicy notes complement the taste. The finish also clearly shows pleasantly sweet aromas, accompanied by spices and toffe.
