When it was first announced back in March, The Macallan’s creative director Jaume Ferras called the boutique a “major milestone for The Macallan” that would “push boundaries and curate an incomparable retail experience”.
It follows The Macallan’s interactive experience that commemorated the 60th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise in Harrods. The brand has also ramps up its global presence with the opening of The Macallan Boutique at Heathrow Terminal 5 last year.
Harrods’ head of buying – food, wine & spirit, Andre Lewis said its customers came “in search of the world’s finest craftsmanship and most compelling luxury experiences, and The Macallan consistently delivers both.”
“This boutique will offer an extraordinary opportunity to sample and purchase some of the rarest and most celebrated single malts, brought to life through a space that beautifully captures the spirit of the Speyside estate. We look forward to welcoming whisky connoisseurs and curious visitors alike to discover this remarkable destination within our store,” he said at the time.
