Introducing The Macallan Horizon – Macallan & Bentley Motors Whisky News
INTRODUCING
THE MACALLAN HORIZON
We are delighted to announce the launch of The Macallan Horizon, a sophisticated and bold single malt whisky. Building on our established relationship with Bentley Motors, The Macallan Horizon is an expertly crafted single malt whisky presented in a visionary horizontal vessel. It encapsulates the rich heritage of both The Macallan and Bentley Motors and our shared vision for the future.
Challenging the conventions of traditional whisky bottling and showcasing an unrivalled level of creativity, the vessel’s twist motif symbolises our extraordinary journey as we travel to the future.
THE WHISKY
The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell sought to capture the essence of a Bentley motorcar through the creation of a sophisticated and bold single malt whisky. Kirsteen painstakingly selected six first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks that exuded the right intensity of flavour, texture and natural colour. An extraordinary meeting of The Macallan’s signature style with Bentley’s timeless quality and design, this single malt is a true stimulation of the senses through taste and texture.
“I was specifically looking for resinous polished oak and fresh leather notes, to complement our classic rich dried fruits and warm spice notes. Bringing together the worlds of The Macallan and Bentley.”

THE SHAPE
Designed and created in collaboration with Bentley Motors, The Macallan Horizon’s horizontal vessel defies traditional vertical whisky bottle aesthetics. Inspired by the horizontal trajectory of the automotive world, The Macallan Horizon represents a fusion of tradition and innovation, paying homage to the rich heritage of both The Macallan and Bentley Motors while embracing a forward-looking vision for the future.
Please savour The Macallan responsibly, don’t drink and drive.
