Rainforest Alliance Certified Rosewood
This release comes with a custom gift box and presentation case that was designed with laser-etched Bamboo leaves and branches in the box against the backdrop of a flowing river. The rosewoods used are so dense that they are commonly used for musical instruments due to their gorgeous characteristics that vary from violet to dark red to brown with frequent dark stripes and pronounced figure. Pure copper on the hinges adds a special detail that elevates the look and feel of this release.
The Macallan Distillery
The Macallan is generally considered to be the second or third highest-selling single-malt scotch. The distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid. It is located in Craigellachie, Moray, Scotland, and is one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. In July 2019, a new distillery and visitor experience opened on the Easter Elchies estate near Craigellachie.
