If you enjoy sipping high-end whiskey while ensconced in luxurious accommodations, you're in luck. For just £100,000 ($127,660) you can enjoy Macallan whiskey at one of Edinburgh's best hotels, The Balmoral, writes Robb Report.
The Macallan has partnered with five-star The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh for the Horizon Whiskey Experience, which includes a two-night stay, a visit to the Speyside distillery, and a $50,000 bottle of The Macallan Horizon, released in partnership with Bentley this spring.
The Macallan Horizon is a single malt whiskey matured in six first-fill oak sherry casks. But the real reason this limited release was so expensive is because of the partnership with Bentley Motors. This is partly due to the design of the bottle: a horizontal decanter wrapped in recycled copper and oak from the barrels in which the whiskey was aged, and surrounded by an aluminum band.
The Horizon Whiskey Experience is luxurious from start to finish. It begins at the Balmoral, one of Edinburgh's finest hotels and home to the city's famous Scotch whiskey bar, where Horizon is displayed in a custom-built cabinet. Take a sip there or save it for later—it's your choice because you'll also get Scottish Club membership, which includes a whiskey concierge service and the ability to store your bottle in an engraved bottle vault.
You'll spend the night in the Scone & Crombie Suite, named after a historic palace and castle in Scotland, before heading to Speyside to visit the Macallan Estate. There, you'll receive a VIP tour of the distillery and enjoy a wine and whiskey dinner. Spend the night at the estate, then head back to Balmoral for another night in a Scone & Crombie suite and a seven-course dinner in the hotel's Number One restaurant.
