The Genesis Limited Edition whisky is not only presented in a beautiful gift box but also includes a signed lithographic print of the Distillery created by lead architect Graham Stirk. This print showcases an elevation of the Distillery, providing a detailed view of the revolutionary design and offering a glimpse into the intricate workings of the building.

The print aims to capture the essence of the Distillery concept by showcasing both the overall form and the precise details of the architecture. It allows viewers to appreciate the scale and complexity of the building while revealing the mystery and artistry behind its creation. The print was produced on one of the only two remaining map printing presses in the UK, ensuring a unique and high-quality result.

To maintain the longevity and quality of the print, it was created on archival cotton paper sourced from Magnani, an esteemed Italian fine art paper mill with a history dating back to the 15th century. This choice of paper ensures that the print will not degrade over time if properly cared for.

THE MACALLAN GENESIS LIMITED EDITION

CELEBRATING THE MACALLAN DISTILLERY AND VISITOR EXPERIENCE

The Macallan Genesis Limited Edition marks the creation of the iconic Distillery in a unique collaboration with internationally acclaimed architects Rogers Stirk Harbour + PartnersB The special bottling tells the distinctive story of Senior Partner and Lead Architect, Graham Stirk’s vision for the aesthetic of the new Distillery and reflects each step in The Macallan whisky making process. Graham Stirk visualised the new Distillery cut into the slope of the land, taking its cues from ancient Scottish hills and maximising the aesthetic beauty of the building while minimising the visual impact on the Speyside landscape. The undulating timber roof structure deliberately echoes the rolling slopes of the surrounding countryside, while the gently curving walls celebrate the mastery of all that happens within.

“The Macallan truly is a special place; a place we have come to love
and respect hugely. The vision was always ambitious but this enabled
us to challenge our own thinking to create something that is both
dramatic and surprising. With this limited edition print we are proud
to reveal the complicated architectural language of the Distillery
which honours the complexity and mastery behind The Macallan
whisky making process.”
