For us Brazilians, the Scotland it is not a common destination. How many times have you been in a circle of friends and heard the phrase: “I ended my vacation in the land of Sean Connery, Calvin Harris or Tony Blair”?
A country with castles, movie sets and series like “Outlander” “Braveheart and the “Harry Potter” franchise, and perhaps its most famous attribute: the whiskey country or whiskey in our legitimate Portuguese.
It is there, in the region of Scottish Highlands in Speyside about 1h20 from Aberdeen Airport which is home to the distillery of The Macallan the most iconic brand of whiskey in the world.
Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid maybe he didn’t even imagine that he was building a brand that would change the concept of excellence in the “water of life” standard – translation from Gaelic uisge beatha from which the name whiskey came.
A mandatory destination for drink and history lovers, visiting The Macallan distillery is to be impacted by the perfect marriage between tradition and modernity, to see almost 200 years of a legacy up close, to understand what made it the most awarded brand and desired whiskey and fall in love with this amber-colored drink with a striking smell – even if you are not the biggest fan of the distillate.
