This latest Masters of Photography release, is a collaboration with one of the world’s most famous photographic cooperatives, Magnum Photos – and through a collection of images, tells the start of a new story for Macallan, following the recent opening of its new £140m distillery.
The photos which were taken by six world renowned Magnum photographers - Steve McCurry, Martin Parr, Paolo Pellegrin, Mark Power, Gueorgui Pinkhassov and Alec Soth, capture different aspects of the distillery, from its landscape and materials used to build the new distillery, to its workers and casks.

He went onto say: “For the first time in The Macallan Masters of Photography series, we are working in partnership with multiple photographers to tell the story of the new Macallan distillery and the people behind it, taking it from genesis to completion. This coveted edition shows history in the making against the backdrop of The Macallan’s ongoing commitment to mastery.”
