The Macallan and Bentley Motors are united by a long-term vision of a more sustainable future and a shared dedication to innovation and excellence. Whilst this partnership recognises the provenance and deep heritage rooted in both brands, the focus is set on looking forward together to collaborate on innovative products, immersive experiences, and captivating storytelling.
Following the successful launch of the partnership, the next chapter of our Extraordinary Journey has arrived. This next instalment of the partnership is the launch of a bespoke, new to world product prototype; a joint venture between both brands. The Macallan Horizon – a tribute to the orientation of the bottle – a design detail inspired by the horizontal world of car design vs the vertical world of spirits.
The name ‘Horizon’ has been thoughtfully considered, the word itself being synonymous with the idea of time – the beginning and passing of each day can be seen most clearly on the horizon. It connects us to the idea of a journey – moving forwards and pushing boundaries – “expanding our horizons”.
The Macallan Horizon fuses traditional craftsmanship with technical innovation – twisting time and space, pushing the art of the possible. In homage to The Macallan’s acclaimed Six Pillars, The Macallan Horizon concept product incorporates six unique upcycled, repurposed, or ethically sourced materials which are integral to The Macallan and Bentley Motors.
- WOOD: Re-purposed from Macallan oak casks
- COPPER: Repurposed from The Macallan disused ‘curiously small’ copper stills from the former The Macallan Distillery
- ALUMINIUM: Recovered from the Bentley manufacturing process
- LEATHER: Ethically sourced from local Scottish suppliers, Bridge of Weir Leather
- GLASS: A unique 180 degree ‘twist’ has been created with no standing base – the ‘impossible’ bottle
- WHISKY: Liquid is in development
The prototype of The Macallan Horizon, which will be available as a whisky product from Summer 2023, fuses both traditional craftsmanship and innovative materials, with cutting edge technology to create an exclusive horizontal design. Information regarding pricing and availability of The Macallan Horizon single malt whisky will be shared closer to its release on www.themacallan.com and www.bentleymotors.com
