The 'Colour Collection' Pop-Up Store, hosted by The Macallan at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), marks the latest artistic initiative from the renowned distillery. Located in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B), this installation highlights the Colour Collection, a series of single malts known for their unique hues developed from maturation in sherry casks.
The Colour Collection comprises five single malts aged 12, 15, 18, 21, and 30 years, priced at $80, $180, $380, $1,280, and $4,600, respectively. The collection emphasizes "the color transformation from deep golden to darker chestnut and mahogany tones as the whisky ages."
Additionally, the pop-up includes other limited edition and "Travel Retail-exclusive releases such as the Harmony Collection: Green Meadow, Macallan Estate, A Night on Earth: The Journey, Folio 7, and M Collection single malts." This immersive experience allows whisky enthusiasts to explore Macallan’s distinguished portfolio while enjoying a visually engaging art installation.
