The Macallan cask strength single malt Scotch
The Macallan is a single malt Scotch whisky, produced at Macallan Distillery near Easter Elchies House, at Craigellachie in the Speyside region. Originally, The Macallan was only matured in oak sherry casks brought to the distillery from Jerez, Spain. Beginning in 2004 Macallan introduced a new main product, the Fine Oak series, with the whisky mellowed in bourbon oak casks as well as sherry ones[1]
The Macallan distillery also produces a brand of single malt scotch under the Sean Michael's label. In 2007, a bottle of 1926 vintage Macallan was sold at a Christie's auction for $54,000, making it one of the most expensive bottles of liquor ever.[2]

The distillery produces a number of expressions, the most generally available being the 12-year-old, though the 18-year-old is also well known. Expensive 25- and 30-year-old versions can also be found. Additionally, a 116-proof cask strength (i.e., non-diluted) version is widely available. The Elegancia, an 80-proof (as opposed to 86-proof) 12-year-old, is available only at duty-free shops. The Macallan is one of the ingredients of The Famous Grouse blend.
