At a Christie’s auction in 2007, a bottle of Macallan made in 1926 sold for $54,000.
The Easter Elchies House on the distillery’s grounds, which is pictured on the Macallan label and was the home of the brand’s founder, was built in 1700.
Not only is there a store at the distillery, which stocks special bottling, but also a large interactive exhibit that explains the whisky production process.
