The Macallan and Dubai Duty Free partner to deliver global first launch of The Macallan Concept Number 1 Scotch Whisky.<\/p>\n

The Macallan Concept Number 1<\/a> is the first release in a new, highly collectible, limited edition series which celebrates the world\u2019s visionaries and those who dare to be different by reversing the normal maturation process. While the industry typically finishes bourbon cask matured whiskies in sherry casks, The Macallan Concept Number One is matured first in sherry-seasoned oak casks and then for an equal time in ex-bourbon casks. By daring to disrupt the whisky making process, The Macallan Concept Number1 explores maturation more imaginatively.<\/p>\n

For the month of December 2018, The Macallan Concept Number 1 was exclusively available at Dubai Duty Free\u2019s outlets at Dubai International Airport \u2013 the world\u2019s busiest international airport. The launch featured major visibility across Dubai Airport\u2019s physical and digital retail footprint and high-profile promotional (HPP) activations which brought to life the Six Pillars of The Macallan through an augmented reality experience. The Six Pillars have all been reimagined in surreal form for Concept Number 1\u2019s eye-catching visual identity. The first HPP, located in Concourse C, ran throughout December while a second in Concourse D is running in January.
\nShoppers also have the opportunity to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to The Macallan\u2019s award-winning new $150m distillery and visitor centre in Speyside by simply following @ddf_wines_and_spirits on Instagram and liking the Concept Number 1 post.<\/p>\n

Edrington Managing Director EMEA Travel Retail, Jeremy Speirs, commented: \u201cDubai Airport<\/a> offers the perfect platform to showcase the first release in The Macallan Concept series to a global audience, and Dubai Duty Free the ideal retail partner to bring to life this very different, surreal take on The Macallan. This launch highlights our ongoing commitment to delivering innovation and excitement in the global travel retail channel through a partnership-driven approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
