In this atmosphere, an increasingly independent path was anticipated at The Macallan. The dominant business of supplying the blenders’ market, would, in years to come, give way to play second fiddle to single malt bottlings, bearing the company name with unshowy simplicity.

It was time for ‘The Macallan’ to stand on its feet. In the post-war euphoria, the name already resonated with those who knew exceptional quality when they met it. For a fortunate few, some seventy years later, the amazing spirit of that optimistic age is happily available.
