Fans of whiskey have plenty of opportunities to enjoy luxury items, but the [Macallan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-night-on-earth) 'Master's Journey' takes things a step further with a [premium whiskey experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskey-row-distillery) that takes drinkers around the world of luxury. Designed to give connoisseurs a truly unique experience, the 'Master's Journey' adventure offers some of the finest spirits from Macallan brand.

Beginning in New York, the adventure starts aboard a [privately chartered, 12-passenger Embraer Lineage 1000 jet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-seasons-private-jet-experience), where guests will be served a 'Smoked Oak New-Fashioned' cocktail and various canapés. Upon landing, guests will be transferred to a 100-foot yacht docked at Hallandale Beach. While on the yacht, Macallan will offer a group of whiskeys served alongside local cheeses.

The entire experience is hosted by Macallan's national brand ambassador, Raquel Raies, and comes priced a $46,000 for a group of seven.
