You’ll Want to Miss Your Flight for This

The Macallan has unveiled its latest boutique in Heathrow Terminal 5, in collaboration with Avolta and Heathrow.

This new opening reinforces the brand’s commitment to delivering immersive luxury experiences in global travel retail.

As the UK’s premier international hub, Heathrow offers a powerful stage for The Macallan to share its world-renowned single malt whisky with discerning travellers.

Located in the heart of the airport’s busiest terminal, the boutique captures the spirit of The Macallan Estate in Speyside, Scotland.

Created with acclaimed architect Jamie Fobert, the 84-square-metre space brings to life the brand’s new experiential concept, Nurtured by Nature.

It combines sophisticated craftsmanship with natural materials, offering a multi-sensory journey through The Macallan’s heritage and identity.

Highlights include a wave-like feature wall inspired by the distillery’s iconic roof, a copper installation nodding to its signature stills, and Albariza stone behind the bar, referencing the sherry-seasoned oak casks integral to maturation.

Expert consultants are on hand to guide guests through tastings and curated product presentations in a dedicated seating area.

The experience is enhanced by Discover Your Expression, an interactive tool that suggests whiskies based on personal preferences.

Travellers will find an exceptional selection of The Macallan’s Prestige range, including rare and collectable expressions such as TIME:SPACE Mastery, the Red Collection, and select Fine & Rare releases. A curated range of lifestyle accessories—exclusive to travel retail—completes the offering.

The boutique’s launch was marked by an exclusive event on 7 May, attended by Jeremy Speirs, Regional Managing Director – Global Travel Retail at Edrington, alongside senior representatives from Avolta and Heathrow.
