Tales of the Macallan Volume 2
In our 200th anniversary year, this remarkable whisky is a fitting tribute to our founder, Alexander Reid, and his journey from teacher to whisky master.

The founder of the Macallan
Tales of The Macallan Volume II pays homage to Alexander Reid, founder of The Macallan. On our 200th anniversary year, this edition depicts Alexander – teacher, farmer and distiller – on his way to the ultimate mastery.

Alexander established the Distillery on Easter Elchies Estate in 1824. Holding firm that small stills gave better flavour and character, he resisted the movement of the time to higher-volume stills. Curiously Small Stills remains one of our Six Pillars – and a feature of our new Distillery.

This is the second edition of the prestigious Tales of The Macallan series: a collection that tells the story of The Macallan pioneers and the defining moments and decisions that have shaped our story. Distilled in 1949 and bottled in 2022, this exemplary whisky has been selected at the apex of its maturation.

Encased in a bespoke, hand-crafted Lalique crystal decanter, the remarkable 1949 vintage whisky honours the journey of The Macallan founder, Alexander Reid, from teacher to farmer and distiller. The decanter showcases etchings of Andrew Davidson's illustrations, while the accompanying tome features beautifully illustrated chapters by the artist.

A creative collaboration
The bespoke hand-crafted crystal decanter that encases this distinguished expression was created by our long-standing collaborator, master French crystal maker Lalique.

Etched with depictions of Alexander Reid’s journey from teacher to farmer and distiller, the decanter is secreted within an impressive 800-page tome. With chapters beautifully illustrated by Andrew Davidson, it hosts 600 pages of imagery from the time of Alexander Reid. Printed by Imprimerie du Marais, the book is handsewn and bound by Shepherds, Sangorski & Sutcliffe, Zaehnsdorf, London and JC Ribeiro, Porto.

Guided by legacy, Craig Armstrong composed a score inspired by Scottish folk instruments in Speyside during Alexander Reid's time. The resulting soundtrack echoes The Macallan's enduring heritage, as Armstrong, drawing from his Scottish roots, weaves a magnificent melody tracing Reid's journey from teacher to farmer and distiller.
