In a blend of traditional craftsmanship and avant-garde technology, Bentley and The Macallan have launched The Macallan Horizon, a rare, limited edition, single malt Scotch whisky -- a collaboration first introduced by the two in 2022. Celebrating The Macallan's bicentenary, this collaboration is designed to set a new standard in the convergence of automotive excellence and exquisite whisky-making.
The Macallan Horizon, in a statement of innovation, is presented in a horizontal vessel with a 180-degree twist, reflecting the Bentley's expansive horizons. This unique vessel incorporates six materials, including a bespoke glass container wrapped in an aluminum ribbon and encased in a chestnut-colored, low-carbon leather sculpture. A recycled copper frame, oak wood inlay and Bentley’s Crown Cut Walnut veneer complete the vessel, showcasing a blend of tradition and modernity.
Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell has meticulously blended this exclusive single malt from six first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks, each contributing unique characteristics. The result is a whisky with rich dried fruit and spice flavors, balanced with notes of oak and leather, mirroring Bentley's luxurious interiors.
Speaking on the collaboration, Adrian Hallmark, Bentley’s Chairman and CEO shared "We’ve spent years working with The Macallan through our partnership, taking time to craft this incredible first joint product that represents the best of both brands. Centered on innovative materials throughout that reflect our focus on the future, the end result – both the whisky and the vessel that contains it – are stunning, and represent a new benchmark for design, materials and quality in this space."
Available in a 70cl bottle, The Macallan Horizon can be purchased at The Macallan Estate Boutique, select global and travel retail boutiques, and premium off-trade retailers.
