The Macallan Horizon, an exclusive single malt Scotch whisky visualised following extensive collaboration between The Macallan and Bentley Motors, is the result of a fusion of expertise from the worlds of exceptional single malt whisky and extraordinary automotive design.The expertly crafted single malt Scotch whisky, presented in a visionary horizontal vessel with a unique 180-degree twist detail, demonstrates an unparalleled approach to product innovation and design, and reflects the horizontal trajectory of the automotive world.
As a tribute to The Macallan's Six Pillars foundation stones, six material elements, including an aluminium ribbon and an oak wood inlay, are incorporated as integral to The Macallan itself, Bentley Motors and a partnership founded in innovation.
Meticulously crafted by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell, from six first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks, the whisky has been crafted to capture the essence of Bentley. Six individual casks have been selected from the stocks maturing in the warehouses at The Macallan Estate. Expertly combined, each cask brings its own particular characteristics to The Macallan Horizon.
Rich and indulgent dried fruit and spice flavour notes are beautifully balanced with oak and leather, aromas abundant in Bentley’s world. The whisky’s rich and long-lasting finish also mirrors the car’s timeless quality and design, resulting in a true stimulation of the senses through taste and texture.
