Speed Driving to the Horizon –A Macallan and Bentley Motor's Collaboration

By: Radamés Vargas

The Macallan Horizon is a true testament to the harmonious blend of luxury and innovative design.

 

What sets The Macallan Horizon bottle apart is its unconventional design, challenging the typical vertical structure of whisky bottles. With no standing base, its dynamic form evokes the essence of a vehicle in high-speed motion. This collaboration between The Macallan and Bentley Motors incorporates six uniquely upcycled and ethically sourced materials into one innovative piece of packaging.

Copper, aluminum, oak, and leather boldly revolve around an extraordinary 360º twisted glass vessel produced by Nouvel, requiring our team’s full attention to precise mold engineering and meticulous manufacturing.

With copper frames crafted from The Macallan's former distillery stills and aluminum ribbons reclaimed from Bentley’s manufacturing process, The Macallan Horizon is a true testament to the harmonious blend of luxury, sustainability, and innovative design.

The piece was nominated for the Wine, Spirits & Beverage Bottle Award at Monaco’s Formes de Luxe 2024 Awards, and presented at this year’s Luxe Pack Monaco edition as part of Nouvel’s exhibition.
