Macallan Gold Masters of Photography Ernie Button
Macallan Gold Masters of Photography Ernie Button
It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills.
The entry level bottling in Macallan’s now-discontinued 1824 range, which was produced between 2012 and 2018, and consisted of the Gold, Amber, Sienna and Ruby (there were a few additions at the higher end of the scale as well). Despite the discontinuation of the range, the Gold expression was retained, transistioning to the entry level of the new Double Cask series.
The Masters of Photography series of whiskies by Macallan was launched in 2008 and contains numerous chapters, each showcasing the work of a legendary artist behind the lens. This is one of several Ernie Button limited editions.

Macallan Reflexion
The Macallan REFLEXION represents the natural colour and beauty of The Macallan - a true reflection of the foremost influence of first fill sherry seasoned oak casks. This exceptional single malt has drawn its color and flavor from maturation in smaller hogshead casks allowing a greater surface area of wood to interact with the whisky to deliver an intricate character driven by the influence of both Spanish and American oak casks. A deep red mahogany hue, taken directly from the cask, is beautifully enhanced by the angular facets of the carefully crafted decanter. The depth of color coupled with the complex flavor of REFLEXION, derive from the casks selected for this distinctive expression by The Macallan's Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno. Bold and full-bodied, REFLEXION is a celebration of floral and vanilla notes, punctuated with fresh apples and apricots. ABW - the largest selection straight to your door - Deliveries Worldwide.
