Macallan Genesis

The Macallan Genesis Single Malt Scotch Whisky
700ml | 43% ABV | Natural Color | Non-Chill Filtered | Limited Edition

The Origin of a Legend

The Macallan Genesis is a symbolic tribute to the birth of The Macallan in 1824—when Alexander Reid first distilled spirit at Easter Elchies on the banks of the River Spey. Consequently, it honors the vision, land, and craft that launched a whisky dynasty. Moreover, this limited bottling captures the essence of Macallan’s founding spirit: pure, bold, and timeless.

Crafted in the Heart of Speyside

Distilled at The Macallan’s historic estate, this single malt is matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks. In fact, the Macallan Genesis reflects the distillery’s original philosophy—unpeated, rich, and deeply rooted in sherry cask tradition.

Rich, Balanced, and Profoundly Elegant

Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky delivers depth with remarkable finesse. As a result, it layers raisin, fig, and orange marmalade over cinnamon, clove, and polished oak. Additionally, the dual cask maturation creates a velvety texture that defines its premium character.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals dried apricot, vanilla, and honey, followed by ginger, nutmeg, and a hint of leather. Then, subtle notes of dark chocolate and roasted almond emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is smooth and full. Flavors of plum, toffee, baking spice, and antique wood unfold with grace. The alcohol integrates seamlessly, enhancing warmth without heat.

Finally, the finish is long and contemplative—dried fruit, cocoa, and a whisper of river mist. Altogether, it’s a majestic and evocative dram that embodies the spirit of this Macallan Genesis.

A Collector’s Tribute to Heritage
