At JFK Terminal Four, The Macallan has introduced a refined, limited-time activation spotlighting its 'Harmony Collection IV Guardian Oak' whisky. Running through April, this immersive experience showcases the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and narrative, commemorating its 200th anniversary and creative partnership with Cirque du Soleil. Moreover, The Harmony Guardian Oak and 'Vibrant Oak' expressions emphasize sustainability, featuring packaging made from repurposed natural materials.
The activation features a striking podium display of the Guardian Oak bottle alongside a sensory experience tray, where oak-scented chippings trace the journey from virgin wood to matured whisky. Additionally, a character discovery installation links 'The Macallan’s Six Pillars' to characters from Cirque du Soleil’s “SPIRIT,” deepening the story behind the collection. Travelers can purchase the Guardian Oak for $185 SRP and personalize their gift with a complimentary branded ribbon, offering a memorable way to reconnect with the elegance of global travel.
