House of McCallum is a new collection of Scottish whiskeys designed by Antony McCallum, a maltster, blender and creator of exceptional whiskeys, with 24 years of experience in the Scotch whiskey industry.
The McCallum clan is one of the oldest noble clans in Scotland on the west coast of Scotland. The ancestors date back to some of the earliest kings of Scotland. King Malcolm I was the first King of Scotland to unite the two tribes, the Picts and the Scots into one kingdom, in order to defend Scotland from Anglo-Saxon invasions.
House of McCallum consists of two distinct ranges: the Art of Whiskey collection and the vintage Auld Alliance and Art of Rum collection.
A collection of rare barrels selected for their exceptional character and finished for some in old wine barrels of the Auld Alliance country and beyond. At the time, Scotland not only exported its whiskey to France, but also imported wine casks for consumption, which were then used to store whiskey.
A bit of history: The Auld Alliance, the former Scottish spelled Ald Allyance or Scottish Gaelic, An Seann-Chaidreachas), was a sealed alliance between the French and Scottish kingdoms. Even though 1560's Edinburgh Treaty was supposed to undo most of its features, the spirit of the treaty continued, Mary Queen of Scots refusing to ratify the treaty, and after that unwritten support remained in place. Scotland's historic ties to France and the rest of Europe have been in place since 1295 and will continue to mark the culture and future of this country.
The House of McCallum Vintage collection features barrels from different regions, different styles, some unique barrels and others distillates distilled on the same day and from the same still. Each bottle of each barrel is unique. Some are finished in handcrafted wine barrels selected from small wine producers and are handpicked by him.

WHISKEY MACNAMARA BLENDED SCOTLAND 40 ° 70CL
Mac Na Mara, his name means "the son of the sea".
Gaelic whiskeys were developed for Celtic-speaking communities on the Scottish Atlantic coast. They represent the attachment of a gentleman farmer, Sir Ian Noble, to the Gaelic traditions and its terroir where the Celtic culture and tradition is still very present. Its production is the most famous of "owner" whiskeys.
Mac Na Mara is a Blend whiskey aged 5 to 7 years. It is an original, virile Gaelic whiskey. A high proportion of malts with iodized flavors and a slightly peaty nose.
A very nice blend to consume between friends.
Great King Street Artist's Blend Whiskey 70 cl
A new range named after the street where the Compass Box headquarters are located: Great KIng Street
Artist's Blend is based on a clever mix of malt whiskeys and grain whiskeys, determined by John Glaser. The malt/grain ratio, around 50%/50%, demonstrates the importance given to malt by John in the final recipe. For the choice of single malts, the Northern Highlands were favored for the spring and fruity aromas they brought. In the end, his approach recalls the tradition of vatting dear to Ireland, renowned for its blends with a high proportion of malt or pot still whisky.
WHISKEY BALLECHIN 10 YEARS HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT SCOTLAND 46 °
Speyside and Highland peat usually gives rise to very dry, even slightly bitter single malts. But at Edradour the very heavy distillate seems to perfectly accommodate this millenary fossil. In the end the Ballechin 10 years is in our opinion one of the few peaty whiskeys that bears comparison with the best Islay. Very smoky, it has the sweetness of Islay's malts and the rich and corpulent style of Edradour from which it comes. We have the privilege to import and distribute exclusively for the French market Ballechin, Edradour and Signatory Vintage since 1988, year of creation of this trading house became cult.

Teaspooning" is the practice of adding a small amount of whiskey from a specific distillery
(hence the name referring to a teaspoon) to a cask with a distillate from another distillery, which gives
a blended whisky, which is at 99, 99% of single malt whiskey from a distillery.
This procedure prevents buyers from bottling these barrels under the official name of the distillery or under the name of
single malt whiskey.
Most commonly, the teaspoon is used when selling kegs to independent bottlers
or to competitors in order to protect a brand and the supply of single malt bottles
from a specific distillery.
