The Macallan Horizon epitomises the groundbreaking collaboration between The Macallan and Bentley Motors, blending exceptional whisky-making with extraordinary automotive design.
Drawing inspiration from The Macallan's foundational 'Six Pillars', The Macallan Horizon incorporates six materials: glass, leather, wood, copper, aluminium, and the whisky itself—elements extensively utilised by both brands.
Crafted by The Macallan’s Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell, this distinctive single malt is composed of six first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks from The Macallan Estate. Each cask imparts unique characteristics, creating a bold, complex flavour profile enriched with rich dried fruit and spice, and complemented by undertones of oak and leather.
Presented in an innovative horizontal vessel that showcases a distinctive 180-degree twist, The Macallan Horizon challenges traditional whisky bottling norms and celebrates the shared craftsmanship ethos of both iconic brands. This limited edition symbolises the fusion of luxury and tradition, with an ABV of 46.6%—a homage to the Six Pillars.
"Our collaboration with Bentley Motors and the knowledge exchange we have undertaken as a result has inspired us to see things very differently. In the spirits world, everything is upright, such as our stills and our bottles. When we looked at the horizontal direction pursued by Bentley Motors as part of the automotive industry, it made us consider if and how we could adapt this format for whisky, which ultimately requires to be poured."
- Jaume Ferras, Creative Director, The Macallan
