The Balmoral, Edinburgh’s legendary landmark hotel, has secured its place at the pinnacle of luxury hospitality by becoming Scotland’s inaugural host of The Macallan Horizon whisky decanter—a collaboration between the iconic single malt house The Macallan and the prestigious automotive marque Bentley Motors.
This rare piece, the world’s first horizontal whisky bottle, anchors the newly launched ‘Horizon Whisky Experience’—a meticulously curated adventure for connoisseurs seeking the ultimate in Scotch immersion. Priced at £100,000 and available from August 2024, the package is a testament to The Balmoral’s commitment to exclusive, bespoke experiences in the heart of Edinburgh.
Guests who reserve this singular experience are welcomed into the elite SCOTCH Club, enjoying a personalised whisky locker engraved with their name and access to private tastings curated by The Balmoral’s award-winning Whisky Ambassadors. Every visit is tailored, with a dedicated whisky concierge guiding guests through Scotland’s finest and rarest expressions.
The journey continues with a chauffeured transfer to The Macallan Estate in Speyside, where participants are treated to a private behind-the-scenes tour and a masterclass in whisky appreciation, culminating in a bespoke tasting and a gourmet dinner featuring locally sourced ingredients—each course paired with exceptional Macallan expressions and fine wines. A luxurious overnight stay at the estate ensures a truly immersive experience.
Upon returning to Edinburgh, guests are invited to relax once more in the opulent Scone & Crombie Presidential Suite. The evening climaxes with a seven-course seasonal tasting menu at The Balmoral’s Michelin-starred Number One restaurant, paired with vintages selected by the property’s sommelier team, ensuring a grand finale to the journey.
