The Macallan 1824 Series

The Macallan distillery has seen its profits rise by 38% in the year to the end of March.

The Macallan Distillers, which is wholly owned by Edrington, posted a pre-tax profit of £87.5 million, reports The Herald newspaper.

According to the directors’ report in their annual accounts, the profit was down to “excellent brand growth in volume and margin in key markets”.

A dividend of £18.4m was paid to the parent company.

Earlier this month Edrington announced profits of £148.8 million, up 5.2% on the previous year.
