The Macallan introduces its latest travel-exclusive whisky, the Harmony Collection Guardian Oak, alongside a world-first immersive pop-up at Singapore Changi Airport in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil
Synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and innovation, Macallan has unveiled the latest edition of its sought-after Harmony Collection—the Guardian Oak. Available exclusively at travel retail globally, this remarkable single malt whisky recently took centre stage at Singapore’s Changi Airport, accompanied by a world-first immersive pop-up experience in partnership with Cirque du Soleil.
A testament to Macallan’s deep-rooted reverence for oak, the Guardian Oak is matured predominantly in first-fill European oak and second-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks. This meticulous cask selection results in a rich, layered profile featuring notes of dates, orange, baking spices, and a distinctive oak character that underpins Macallan’s legacy of flavour mastery.
Travellers passing through Changi Airport’s Terminal 3 departure halls can step into a world of sensory storytelling at the immersive Harmony Collection pop-up. Running until 10 March 2025, the installation offers an immersive journey through the whisky’s craftsmanship, featuring a striking enchanted oak tree centrepiece, interactive touch points, and a personalised gifting experience. Visitors will also have the rare opportunity to savour the Harmony Collection Guardian Oak and selected expressions from the Colour Collection.
Jeremy Speirs, the regional managing director of global travel retail at Edrington, describes the launch as a convergence of whisky-making artistry and the theatrical brilliance of Cirque du Soleil. “Harmony Guardian Oak bridges these two creative worlds, offering an extraordinary whisky experience for global travellers,” he says.
Following its debut at Changi, The Macallan Harmony Collection Guardian Oak will be available in key airports worldwide and select downtown stores from 26 January 2025. Whether for the discerning collector or an aficionado seeking a distinctive dram, this release presents an unparalleled opportunity to savour The Macallan’s latest expression of craftsmanship and innovation.
