The Macallan Distillery produces some of the world’s finest single malt scotches. They recently announced a new collaboration with the iconic automobile manufacturer Bentley to create the Bentley x Macallan Horizon Whisky. The Macallan Horizon nods to the distiller’s Six Pillars with small batches. And the Bentley x Macallan Horizon Whisky decanter boasts a one-of-a-kind horizontal design created with sustainable materials, including reclaimed copper from Macallan’s former distillery, aluminum, and recycled wood from Bentley and the distillery, and Scottish-sourced sustainable leather. The Macallan says that every Macallan single malt whisky is an example of the commitment to the mastery of wood and spirits—and the Bentley x Macallan Horizon Whisky continues the tradition.
The Macallan, founded in 1824, was one of Scotland’s first legally licensed distillers. Today, they have a reputation as one of the world’s leading distilleries of single malt whiskies. The distillery says its vision to create a better world for future generations informs the company’s actions and commitment to making sustainable decisions. Even the design and build of the distillery lessen its environmental impact. Bentley says this commitment to craftsmanship extends to its selection of brand partners, such as The Macallan. This prototype, The Bentley x Macallan Horizon Whisky, is an expertly crafted, limited-edition single-malt whisky with a presentation that encapsulates both brands’ rich heritage and shared vision. The Macallan Horizon will formally launch in Summer 2023.
