The Macallan Celebrated 200 Years with a Multisensory Experience
Debra John — November 8, 2024 — Marketing
The Macallan celebrated 200 Years with Scotch Whisky immersive experience designed to showcase the brand's rich history and evolution. Developed in collaboration with "Potlatch and Pixel Artworks, the activation guided guests through a multisensory journey; Scottish poet Jenni Fagan, known for her evocative writing, and Spanish artist Javi Aznarez, renowned for his illustrations, brought their talents together to craft a unique storytelling experience."
The experience featured "3D projections of Aznarez's artwork, alongside Fagan's poetry, all enhanced by a carefully designed soundscape and atmospheric elements." Projections were mapped across three walls, and synchronized floor lighting created an engaging and dynamic environment. As guests navigated the space, they were invited to enjoy a glass of The Macallan whisky, deepening their connection to the brand's legacy while celebrating its 200 years of craftsmanship and tradition.
