The Macallan is renowned for their single malt Scotch whisky

The top-shelf whisky stalwart and celebrated luxury car label unveil their historical collaboration for a sustainable future.

The Macallan, a revered whisky label synonymous with craftsmanship and expertise, has formed a meaningful partnership with luxury car brand  Bentley Motors–one that is set to introduce innovative, impactful solutions into our lives.

As Bentley launched their newest hybrid model, the renowned car label progressed ever closer to their goal of becoming the world’s leading sustainable luxury mobility company. This milestone was commemorated at The Macallan Estate’s awe-inspiring countryside in Speyside, Scotland - the perfect setting for Bentley and The Macallan to divulge their latest endeavour: an extended collaboration in the name of a more sustainable tomorrow.

This unique collaboration allows The Macallan and Bentley Motors to draw from their invaluable “time-earned knowledge” and engage in hard-hitting, forward-thinking discussions about sustainable solutions. Thrilled about the partnership, The Macallan’s managing director Igor Boyadijan says the brands “will generate fresh and contemporary thinking around our consumer engagement, our exceptional experiences, and ultimately our products.”

Since the brand was founded by Alexander Reid in 1824, sustainability has been a guiding ethic for The Macallan.  From the day the empire was established atop the River Spey, the whisky-craftsmen and its bountiful estate were nurtured by nature. Today, nearly 200 years later, they continue to celebrate the world’s natural beauty by implementing countless projects such as turning The Macallan Estate carbon neutral by 2030, ongoing community programs, integration of progressive packaging, and many more.

Whether it be in the domain of motorsports, high-performing luxury vehicles, or sustainable practices, Bentley Motors has proven itself as an unmatched force.

Ultimately, as Bentley’s chairman and chief executive Adrian Hallmark shares, The Macallan and Bentley Motors unite “with one common goal - to both lead our fields as we work towards a more sustainable future”. As decorated front-runners in each of their industries, there may be no better duo to fulfil such an admirable aspiration.
