18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch
From Macallan Distillery
Bordered by the Moray Firth to the north and the Cairngorm Mountains to
the south, the Speyside region is home to many world-class single malt
Scotch whisky distilleries. The Macallan Distillery was first granted a license
to produce whisky in 1824. The fresh spring water from the river Spey,
combined with the region’s temperate climate, create optimal growing
conditions for the high-quality barley, a key ingredient in Speyside’s
famously refined single malt Scotch whiskies. Speyside single malts are
noted for their elegance, complexity and smoothness.

This 18-year-old single malt Scotch whisky was distilled at the Macallan Distillery using locally
grown Golden Promise Barley and water drawn from springs deep beneath the Macallan Estate. The
Macallan Distillery makes their Malt individual by using some of the smallest copper stills to be
found in the region. The stills are made from copper so they are
resistant to wear, malleable and conduct heat superbly. Their
unique size and shape give the spirit maximum contact with the
copper, helping to concentrate the “new make” spirit with those
rich, full-bodied flavors so characteristic of Scotch whisky
produced at this world-famous distillery. This Kirkland Signature
Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been matured for 18 years in
American oak bourbon casks, then finished in sherry casks for 6
months. The Sherry imparts aromas and flavors of dried fruits,
spice, toffee and orange.
