MCCALLUM'S HISTORY
Brothers Duncan and John McCallum set up as innkeepers in Edinburgh in 1807. The pub was known as the Tattie Pit and grew to include a shop and a warehouse. The McCallum’s Perfection blend was first released in 1911, and became popular in Australia with its familiar label of a warlike clan chief with claymore drawn and shield ready.
D&J McCallum Ltd eventually had an office in Sydney, as well as in London and Birmingham. Early adverts co-opted Britannia and declared the blend was ‘the spirit of the Empire’. The original pub disappeared in a zeppelin bombing raid during the First World War, and by 1937 the firm of D&J McCallum had become part of the mighty Distillers Company Ltd (DCL), which eventually became Diageo.
