Rare edition of The Macallan in an exquisite Lalique decanter lands at Le Clos stores at Dubai International and completes The Six Pillars Collection.
Le Clos, the Dubai based fine wine and luxury spirits retailer, has received the largest global allocation of The Macallan Lalique Decanters “Peerless Spirit”, after securing 14 of the 450 individually numbered decanters. The latest edition is the final of this global sell out series, The Six Pillars collection.
Designed and created by the legendary French crystal house Lalique, the ‘Peerless Spirit’ release features a 65 year old whisky, one of the oldest and rarest ever released by the distillery. Le Clos will showcase the stunning bottle, priced at US$35,000, at Dubai International airport across its six outlets, including the new Concourse D terminal.
Iain Delaney, Chief Operating officer at MMI said, “We are delighted that The Macallan continue to work with us as a trusted partner to ensure wonderful and rare products like The Macallan in Lalique, are made available to whisky lovers and connoisseurs at the crossroads of the world. We are excited to have received such a large allocation and have already sold 5 bottles within the first month of receiving the product in-store. Our extensive range and ability to delight customers with world-class experiences is testament to our powerful collaborations with valued partners such as The Macallan and we look forward to sharing even greater successes as we continue to expand the Le Clos footprint of outlets.”
Florence Chevallier, Travel Retail Commercial Manager of Edrington Middle East, commented: “This stunning collection of decanters is the result of two kindred spirits, rooted in a shared passion for craftsmanship, detail and mastery. Le Clos has been a trusted partner of The Macallan for many years, and we’re very honoured to showcase this final and rare release with them, as we also look forward to future successes alongside Le Clos.”
The ‘Peerless Spirit’ decanter represents the concluding chapter in the story of The Macallan’s foundation stones, the elements that define the character of this extraordinary single malt. It also showcases the strength behind the decade long partnership, which has seen The Macallan and Lalique united by an unwavering commitment to craft, mastery and beauty.
The whisky is not only a true testament to the skill of each and every one of their craftsmen but it also pays homage to The Macallan’s commitment to creating beautiful whiskies through the tireless and obsessive sourcing, nurturing and maturing of their supreme spirit in exceptional oak casks. The overall design of this decanter was heavily influenced by the blown and pinched technique as used by René Lalique for many of his famed Lalique perfume bottles.
The ‘Peerless Spirit’ Macallan Lalique decanter is valued at US$35,000 and is now available at the Le Clos outlets. See previous story on Duty Free Hunter here
