Macallan
The premium Scotch single malt brand of Macallan have launched a new limited edition to celebrate the opening of their revolutionary state-of-the-art distillery in Speyside. The Genesis Limited Edition is inspired by lead architect Graham Stirk's vision for the £140 million distillery and visitor centre, which opened to the public on June 2. The bottle is presented alongside a lithographic print of the architectural drawings of the new distillery, signed by Stirk.
The Macallan Genesis Limited Edition is bottled at 45.5% ABV and will be available shortly from the Macallan distillery shop and Macallan airport boutiques around the world. There will be just 2,500 bottles and the recommended retail price is £495/$665 US.
"The collaboration between The Macallan and Graham Stirk of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners was the beginning of something truly remarkable; a partnership based on a shared commitment to mastery, delivering both an iconic distillery and this unique, limited edition bottling."
Ken Grier - Creative Director for The Macallan.
