BENTLEY AND THE MACALLAN INTRODUCE: THE MACALLAN HORIZON

BENTLEY AND THE MACALLAN INTRODUCE: THE MACALLAN HORIZON

  • Unique prototype of first product collaboration revealed
  • Ground-breaking horizontal vessel to hold exceptional single malt whisky
  • Six key upcycled, repurposed or ethically sourced materials unite to create a stunning, sustainable design
  • Recycled copper, reused wood, recycled aluminium and low CO2 leather crafted together by hand
  • Jointly developed between design teams at Bentley and The Macallan
  • Represents the next step in a partnership founded in sustainability
  • To be launched in Summer 2023

(Crewe and Speyside, 22 August 2022) Bentley Motors and The Macallan have today revealed the ground-breaking design of The Macallan Horizon – the first limited edition single malt whisky being created by the brand collaboration.

Reflecting the sustainability core that’s at the heart of the partnership together with a joint purpose of innovation, the prototype of The Macallan Horizon fuses traditional craftsmanship, recycled materials and an exclusive horizontal design. Created following extensive joint development between Bentley Motors and The Macallan, the prototype encapsulates a joint ambition of building a sustainable future from the rich heritage of both brands.

In homage to The Macallan’s acclaimed Six Pillars – the foundation stones of the brand that account for its distinctive single malt whiskies – The Macallan Horizon incorporates six unique upcycled, repurposed or ethically sourced materials which are integral to The Macallan and Bentley Motors.

A Harmony of Six Key Sustainable Materials

The prototype vessel that has been jointly crafted is unlike any bottle of whisky in history. The unique design defies the traditional vertical aesthetic of a whisky bottle and reflects the horizontal trajectory of a car, pushing the boundaries and the art of the possible. Accordingly, the vessel sits horizontally in a purpose-build cradle, and has no standing base.

At the centre of the design is a hand-made glass bottle with an extraordinary 180-degree twist, representing the mastery of space and time achieved by The Macallan and Bentley Motors in creating the prototype.

The vessel is then surrounded by an intricately twisted 3D structure crafted in a suite of beautiful, sustainable materials. The arms of the structure are crafted in:

  • Recycled copper from the disused, curiously small spirit stills which were located within The Macallan’s former distillery
  • Aluminium recovered from the production of the Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga at Bentley’s home in Crewe, England
  • Recycled wood from both brands
  • The world’s lowest CO2 leather, locally-sourced in Scotland, and also used in the highly exclusive Bentley Mulliner Batur grand tourer unveiled yesterday

The final component will be the extraordinary single malt whisky being crafted for the release, which will also tell its own story of recycling and sustainability.

Bentley’s Product and Lifestyle Design Manager, Chris Cooke, comments:

“Our prototype for The Macallan Horizon is truly pioneering in both its design and use of materials. It’s a fusion of the sharply defined yet curvaceous Bentley design DNA, The Macallan’s innovation and recycled materials from both iconic British brands. The form of the design has allowed us to treat light as a material in itself, and the interplay between light and repurposed wood, aluminium and copper is extraordinary. In being both an object of beauty in itself and having such strong sustainability elements, it’s a representation of what’s coming next from our partnership.”

Jaume Ferras, Global Creative Director for The Macallan, comments:

“Taking inspiration from the car industry, we are showcasing our creative development of The Macallan Horizon, which is among the most ground-breaking projects we have embarked on in our 200-year history.

“Working with Bentley Motors has inspired us to see things differently. In the whisky world, everything is upright, such as our stills and our bottles. When we looked at the horizontal direction pursued by Bentley Motors as part of the automotive industry, it made us consider if and how we could adapt this format for whisky, which ultimately requires to be poured.

“I am incredibly proud of the revolutionary design we have created for The Macallan Horizon and the unique sustainable materials we are incorporating as part of our commitment to a better world. It simply would not be possible without the incomparable craftsmanship and creativity for which The Macallan and Bentley Motors are renowned, and is the embodiment of the uncompromised excellence pursued by The Macallan since 1824.”

The Macallan Horizon will launch in Summer 2023.

BENTLEY Y THE MACALLAN PRESENTAN: EL HORIZONTE DE MACALLAN

BENTLEY Y THE MACALLAN PRESENTAN: EL HORIZONTE DE MACALLAN

  • Prototipo único de la primera colaboración de productos revelado
  • Innovador recipiente horizontal para albergar excepcional whisky de malta única
  • Seis materiales clave reciclados, reutilizados o de origen ético se unen para crear un diseño impresionante y sostenible
  • Cobre reciclado, madera reutilizada, aluminio reciclado y cuero bajo en CO2 elaborados a mano
  • Desarrollado conjuntamente entre los equipos de diseño de Bentley y The Macallan
  • Representa el siguiente paso en una asociación fundada en la sostenibilidad.
  • Se lanzará en el verano de 2023

(Crewe y Speyside, 22 de agosto de 2022)  Bentley Motors y The Macallan han revelado hoy el diseño innovador de The Macallan Horizon, el primer whisky de malta de edición limitada creado por la colaboración de la marca.

Reflejando el núcleo de sustentabilidad que está en el corazón de la asociación junto con un propósito conjunto de innovación, el prototipo de The Macallan Horizon fusiona artesanía tradicional, materiales reciclados y un diseño horizontal exclusivo. Creado tras un extenso desarrollo conjunto entre Bentley Motors y The Macallan, el prototipo encapsula la ambición conjunta de construir un futuro sostenible a partir de la rica herencia de ambas marcas.

En homenaje a los aclamados Six Pillars de The Macallan, las piedras angulares de la marca que dan cuenta de sus distintivos whiskies de malta única, The Macallan Horizon incorpora seis materiales únicos reciclados, reutilizados o de origen ético que son parte integral de The Macallan y Bentley Motors.

Una armonía de seis materiales sostenibles clave

El recipiente prototipo que se ha elaborado conjuntamente es diferente a cualquier botella de whisky en la historia. El diseño único desafía la estética vertical tradicional de una botella de whisky y refleja la trayectoria horizontal de un automóvil, empujando los límites y el arte de lo posible. En consecuencia, la embarcación se asienta horizontalmente en una cuna especialmente diseñada y no tiene una base permanente.

En el centro del diseño se encuentra una botella de vidrio hecha a mano con un extraordinario giro de 180 grados, que representa el dominio del espacio y el tiempo logrado por The Macallan y Bentley Motors al crear el prototipo.

Luego, la embarcación está rodeada por una estructura 3D intrincadamente retorcida fabricada en un conjunto de hermosos materiales sostenibles. Los brazos de la estructura están elaborados en:

  • Cobre reciclado de los alambiques curiosamente pequeños en desuso que se encontraban dentro de la antigua destilería de The Macallan.
  • Aluminio recuperado de la producción del Continental GT, Flying Spur y Bentayga en la casa de Bentley en Crewe, Inglaterra
  • Madera reciclada de ambas marcas
  • El cuero con menor CO2 del mundo, de origen local en Escocia, y también utilizado en el muy exclusivo Bentley Mulliner Batur grand tourer presentado ayer.

El componente final será el extraordinario whisky puro de malta que se está elaborando para el lanzamiento, que también contará su propia historia de reciclaje y sostenibilidad.

Chris Cooke, gerente de diseño de productos y estilo de vida de Bentley, comenta:

“Nuestro prototipo para The Macallan Horizon es verdaderamente pionero tanto en su diseño como en el uso de materiales. Es una fusión del ADN de diseño de Bentley nítidamente definido pero curvilíneo, la innovación de The Macallan y materiales reciclados de ambas marcas británicas icónicas. La forma del diseño nos ha permitido tratar la luz como un material en sí mismo, y la interacción entre la luz y la madera reutilizada, el aluminio y el cobre es extraordinaria. Al ser un objeto de belleza en sí mismo y tener elementos de sostenibilidad tan fuertes, es una representación de lo que vendrá después de nuestra asociación”.

Jaume Ferras, director creativo global de The Macallan, comenta:

“Inspirándonos en la industria automotriz, estamos mostrando nuestro desarrollo creativo de The Macallan Horizon, que se encuentra entre los proyectos más innovadores en los que nos hemos embarcado en nuestros 200 años de historia.

“Trabajar con Bentley Motors nos ha inspirado a ver las cosas de manera diferente. En el mundo del whisky, todo está en posición vertical, como nuestros alambiques y nuestras botellas. Cuando observamos la dirección horizontal seguida por Bentley Motors como parte de la industria automotriz, nos hizo considerar si y cómo podríamos adaptar este formato para el whisky, que en última instancia requiere ser vertido.

“Estoy increíblemente orgulloso del diseño revolucionario que hemos creado para The Macallan Horizon y los materiales sostenibles únicos que estamos incorporando como parte de nuestro compromiso con un mundo mejor. Simplemente no sería posible sin la artesanía y la creatividad incomparables por las que The Macallan y Bentley Motors son reconocidos, y es la personificación de la excelencia inigualable que persigue The Macallan desde 1824”.

The Macallan Horizon se lanzará en el verano de 2023.

Bentley Motors y The Macallan lanzaron su asociación de marca global en julio de 2021. Unidas por la dedicación a la artesanía, la creatividad, la innovación y la sostenibilidad, ambas marcas se han comprometido a compartir los aprendizajes de sus respectivas industrias mientras continúan buscando la excelencia inquebrantable por la que son reconocidas. . The Macallan Horizon celebra su unión y su búsqueda de un futuro mejor.

Fabricado sin compromiso.
Saborea The Macallan con responsabilidad.
