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.
