Episode One - The Experience: We sit down with The Macallan Estate Experience Manager, Gillian Swan, and explore Gillian’s journey into her current role and how the estate has developed since navigating the tricky waters of Covid-19, balancing The Macallan’s rich history with enticing modern experiences.
Episode Two - The Brand: We find ourselves in conversation with The Macallan Operations Director, Rachel Walters, talking about how Rachel has risen through the ranks of The Macallan over her 26-year career with the brand, from bottling in Glasgow, to leading the engineering team, working with their cask suppliers in Jerez, and beyond. We discuss The Macallan’s barley-to-bar (or acorn-to-glass!) method of viewing the creation and production of its world-renowned liquids, discussing how in spite of having some of the smallest spirit stills in the industry, their brand has become such a vast empire.
In this episode, we meet Rebecca Grant, Head of Maturation, and hear her story on how a background in Science helped her become the master of maturation at The Macallan. Rebecca sheds more light on the 'acorn-to-glass' philosophy, describing the minutia of the process from identifying the best cask-making oak trees through to the rigorous quality checks that take place throughout maturation to ensure that each and every drop has The Macallan seal of approval.
Episode Four - The Whisky: *COMING THURSDAY 5TH FEB*
