This year marks 200 Years Young for The Macallan. To honour this milestone anniversary, The Macallan will embark on ‘A Journey Through Time’ with the conceptual celebration of the theme of ‘time travel’ – reflecting back on The Macallan’s storied past, taking a moment to appreciate the vibrant present, and looking ahead to the rich future which lays ahead.
In Australia, The Macallan will celebrate A Journey Through Time with a range of exciting on-premise activations with select Sydney venues including InterContinental, Shangri-La and Park Hyatt. Each venue will be invited to put their own twist on a flight of three cocktail creations – one which honours the past, one which depicts the present, and one which takes a forward-thinking approach to what the future will bring.
Beginning with the classics, cocktail iterations embodying the past of The Macallan invite all to taste the enduring spirit created in the carefully selected American and European sherry seasoned oak casks. These cocktails pay homage to the years of dedicated craftsmanship behind the perfect balance of flavours and natural colour in each Double Cask whisky, bringing out the best of both wood and spirit through the expert hands of The Macallan.
Cocktails focused on the present encourage all to savour the now and indulge in nature in its purest form. The Macallan’s Double Cask whiskies are nurtured by its environment and are deeply rooted in the rich, fertile banks of the River Spey.
Symbolising The Macallan's 200-year legacy, each cocktail representing the future builds on The Macallan’s desire to preserve and innovate. At the cornerstone of The Macallan’s ethos is respect for the environment that helped establish The Macallan at their home in Scotland. Each cocktail representing the future builds on the theme of sustainability, aligning with The Macallan’s commitment to the environment and laying the foundation for the generations to come.
