The Macallan Boutique Collection 2017 Release

The 2017 release of The Macallan Boutique Collection was created exclusively to celebrate the opening of the first ever Macallan Boutique at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. Originally released as a travel retail exclusive, this expression was drawn from a selection of matured casks reserved for distinguished guests at Easter Elchies House, the spiritual home of The Macallan. Presented in elegant packaging and crafted with the distillery’s signature sherry cask influence, this bottling embodies both rarity and prestige, making it a desirable collector’s item.

The Macallan Distillery

Founded in 1824 in Speyside by Alexander Reid, The Macallan has grown to become one of the most prestigious names in single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is renowned for its dedication to sherry-seasoned oak casks, natural colour, and uncompromising quality. With roots that trace back to farmers distilling surplus barley in the winter months, The Macallan has evolved into one of the world’s leading whisky producers, recognised for both its heritage and its collectability.
