The Macallan’s New $50K Single Malt Embraces an Unexpectedly Sleek DesignKirsteen Campbell is used to working at a slow pace. When she joined The Macallan as the Scotch whisky maker’s first female master blender in 2019, her first task was to produce The Reach, which would become the world’s oldest new Scotch whisky, having been distilled in 1940. But her latest project is, in a sense, all about speed. In part to mark its 200th anniversary this year, The Macallan is releasing a collaboration with Bentley Motors, much to Campbell’s delight. “I love whisky but I also love cars,” she says, conceding that her Audi convertible is not the ideal choice for dealing with the weather in the Scottish Highlands. Called The Macallan Horizon, it’s a limited-edition single malt that comes in a hand-made glass bottle with a 180-degree twist and in a sculpture that looks like something akin to an exploding cask. The packaging is made from upcycled copper and wood; aluminum recovered from the production of Bentley’s Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga models; and the world’s lowest CO2 leather, sourced in Scotland and used in Bentley’s coach-built Mulliner Batur, launched last year.
