Inspired by The Macallan’s ‘Six Pillars’ foundation stones, The Macallan Horizon brings together six materials: glass, leather, wood, copper, aluminium and the whisky itself. Many of them are used extensively by both brands. Here, however, they have been used in innovative new ways, to create something truly unique.
The choice of materials can also be seen as a demonstration of both brands’ commitment to sustainability. The sculpture that surrounds the vessel is finished with Bentley’s sustainably sourced Crown Cut Walnut veneer, while its copper frame includes material repurposed from copper stills previously used by The Macallan, prior to the opening of its new distillery in 2019. The sculpture is lined with carbon-neutral leather, completing the picture.
