Walking under the green-roofed rolling humps of The Macallan’s distillery in Speyside, Scotland, is like entering an alternative reality. The vast wooden structure was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and opened in 2018. It is where The Macallan is made, but it is also home to the whisky brand’s heart and soul as well as its stills, and it fairly takes one’s breath away, gazing across the distillery floor and out over the Moray landscape beyond. Whisky is alchemy, and this is a building where magic happens.
