The Macallan M was matured in a small number of hand-selected casks, and showcases The Macallan’s rich natural colour, proudly.

M Black offers a contrast and is the embodiment of The Macallan’s dedication to Mastery and unwavering trust in our craft. M Copper is an ode to the Curiously Small Spirit Stills that play an integral role in how we craft our precious spirit.

STOLICHNAYA VODKA REBRANDS AS 'STOLI,' DISTANCE ITSELF FROM PUTIN!

TRYING

TO

Exiled Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler, who owns the company that produces the vodka, has been a vocal critic of President Vladimir Putin for decades. The company announced that it is officially adopting the drink's unofficial nickname and will now brand the vodka as Stoli.

The Stoli Group said the rebranding effort is in "direct response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine."

Stolichnaya started out as a Russian brand in the former Soviet Union, though there is even some disagreement about when exactly it started. But in recent years, the vodka has been produced in Latvia by the Luxembourg-based Stoli Group. That company was founded by the exiled Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler, a vocal critic of President Vladimir Putin who fled Russia in 2002.

This is not the first time the Stoli Group or Shefler have sought to distance the brand from perceptions of continued ties to the Russian government. After Putin enacted a number of draconian laws in 2013 cracking down on the country's gay community, the vodka makers publicly condemned Putin.

Last week, McKinney stressed that the renaming is not just about mitigating financial losses. "This is very personal to us," he said. "As a former Royal Marine Commando, I know all too well the horrors of war.

"We have employees, partners and distributors in the region directly impacted. They are asking that we take a bold stand. This is one actionable, meaningful thing we can do to make it clear that we support Ukraine."
