In this episode, Brand Education Manager at The Macallan, Jodie Marriott, lifts the lid on what sits behind one of the world’s most recognisable whiskies — and the thinking behind the new Harmony Collection in collaboration with Jing Tea. From a 485-acre Speyside estate to a distillery roof planted with wildflowers to support biodiversity, she explains why sustainability at The Macallan is planned over the long term. We talk barley, water, local ecosystems – including salmon, otters and bees — and why genuine sustainability in whisky can’t be rushed.
