The New Scotch

Scottish whisky tours get a fresh new spirit, with mustachioed mixologists, modern art collabs and pairings that break all the rules.
“The Macallan holds a distinguished place among Scotland’s old guard, but recent years have seen the brand experiment with its cultural cachet, including staging artistic whisky-themed collaborations with top photographers Rankin, Albert Watson and, most recently, Annie Leibovitz. Catch these and other works in the distillery’s ultramodern visitor centre, dominated by what at first glance appears to be abstract paintings. They’re actually microscopic photography by Rob Kesseler, whose extreme close-ups of bacteria, yeast, starch and barrel oak elevate their scientific subject matter to high art.”
