The W Club Visits The Macallan - Part 2 Rachel Walters, Operations Director

The next episode in the W Club's insightful miniseries giving listeners the inside scoop on what life is like at The Macallan estate. Each of the podcast episodes were recorded inside the estate's beautiful open-sided marquee on the banks of the River Spey – the perfect spot for reflecting on The Macallan's magnificent drams. In this episode, we find W Club Manager, Luke Crowley-Holland, in conversation with The Macallan Operations Director, Rachel Walters, talking about how Rachel has risen through the ranks of The Macallan over her 26-year career with the brand, from bottling in Glasgow, to leading the engineering team, working with their cask suppliers in Jerez, and beyond. They discuss The Macallan's barley-to-bar (or acorn-to-glass!) method of viewing the creation and production of its world-renowned liquids, discussing how in spite of having some of the smallest spirit stills in the industry, their brand has become such a vast empire.
