PR93321
DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ -
The Macallan and Le Clos have partnered to deliver a stunning launch event
for a select group of Le Clos' closest customers in Dubai, to reveal The
Macallan Anecdotes of Ages Collection at The Macallan Boutique by Le Clos.
Ben Odgers - General Manager, Le Clos and The Macallan Boutique
The Anecdotes of Ages Collection is an extraordinary art and whisky
collaboration with renowned British pop artist Sir Peter Blake. At the heart of
the collection are 13 one-of-a-kind bottles of exceptional 1967 whisky. Each
bottle features its own original Sir Peter Blake collage art on the label,
detailing unique stories relating to The Macallan's history, community, and the
beautiful natural landscape of The Macallan Estate.
Guests at the event were introduced to two of the highly sought-after
bottlings from the collection – the Anecdotes of Ages: Down To Work Limited
Edition and Anecdotes of Ages: An Estate, A Community and Distillery.
Anecdotes of Ages: Down To Work Limited Edition tells a very important story
that reflects a milestone in the history of The Macallan: a time when the
decision was made to continue using sherry seasoned oak casks in the face of
pressure to compromise.
The original labelled bottle portraying this special story has been laid in
The Macallan Archives, and digital replicas of this label are available as a
limited edition with the same 1967 rich spirit and only 322 bottles available.
Anecdotes of Ages: An Estate, A Community and Distillery is a tribute to
some of the colourful characters from The Macallan's past and present. It
commemorates Sir Peter Blake's visit to The Macallan Estate on the legendary
River Spey and features a label digitally designed by Sir Peter.
Building on the longstanding partnership between The Macallan and Le Clos,
The Macallan Boutique by Le Clos in Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport
will be playing host to one of the 13 original bottles from the collection.
Anecdotes of Ages: Journey to Market pays homage to the widespread travels of
The Macallan as its reputation grew around the world. A specially commissioned
window display is showcasing this extraordinary whisky.
Jeremy Speirs, Edrington Regional Managing Director Global Travel Retail,
said, "The Anecdotes of Ages Collection is an incredible celebration of The
Macallan's history and of the figures which have contributed to its outstanding
reputation and heritage. Over recent years, Le Clos has been a key partner in
The Macallan's growth trajectory in global travel retail, and we're proud to
recognise this partnership by showcasing bottlings from the collection at our
Dubai boutique."
Ben Odgers, General Manager, Le Clos, added, "With international travellers
beginning to return to the skies, we're delighted to bring The Anecdotes of
Ages Collection to life in our boutique. This builds on our unrivalled track
record for offering whisky enthusiasts and collectors some of the rarest and
most sought-after bottlings on the market."
