The Dalmore
announces partnership with The British
Council for 19th International
Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale
di Venezia.

The Dalmore Single Malt Whisky has
announced a distinguished new
partnership with the British Council as
a Supporting Partner of the British
Pavilion at the 19th International
Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale
di Venezia in 2025. This collaboration
reinforces The Dalmore’s deep-rooted
commitment to the worlds of art, design,
and architectural innovation—an ethos
brought to life through its acclaimed
Luminary Series.
The Luminary Series is a trilogy of
rare, limited-edition whiskies
co-created by visionary figures from
both whisky-making and architectural
design. Conceived in collaboration with
V&A Dundee—Scotland’s design museum—this
series merges the expertise of The
Dalmore’s master distillers with the
creativity of celebrated architects to
craft extraordinary Single Malts and
accompanying sculptural works.
By partnering with the British Council
and the British Pavilion at the globally
renowned Venice Biennale, The Dalmore is
extending its support for the
international design and architecture
community. This new alliance not only
complements the spirit of the Luminary
Series but also marks a pivotal moment
with the unveiling of the third and
final edition—Luminary No.3 2025
Edition—set to debut in Venice in the
lead-up to the Biennale, watch this
space for more info on the Luminary No.3
2025 Edition.
Held biennially in Venice, Italy, La
Biennale is one of the world’s foremost
architecture exhibitions, featuring a
central curated Pavilion and 29 national
showcases. The event spotlights
innovative responses to pressing social,
technological, and environmental
challenges and has featured some of the
most revered names in
architecture—including previous Luminary
collaborators Kengo Kuma Associates and
Zaha Hadid Architects.
Curated by Cave-bureau co-founders
Kabage Karanja and Stella Mutegi,
alongside Owen Hopkins and Professor
Kathryn Yusoff, the 2025 British
Pavilion—led by the British Council—will
explore the theme Architecture as an
Earth Practice, championing cutting-edge
British design on the global stage.
Although 2025 marks The Dalmore’s first
year as an official Supporting Partner,
the brand previously supported British
Pavilion vernissages in 2023, as well as
the International Art Exhibition of La
Biennale di Venezia.
In celebration of this new chapter, The
Dalmore will host an exclusive launch
event in Venice to unveil The Luminary
Series No.3 2025 Edition—revealing its
latest whisky, sculpture, and creative
collaborator ahead of the Biennale’s
official opening.
Steven Pearson, Chief Marketing Officer,
The Dalmore said: "This partnership
perfectly aligns with the aims of The
Dalmore and The Luminary Series.
Supporting the British Council and
British Pavilion at the Venice
Architecture Biennale allows us to
further our commitment to support
pioneering talent and creativity. The
British Council’s ethos of
cross-cultural collaboration is mirrored
in our own approach to whisky making and
our sponsorship represents a shared
commitment to shine a light and support
creative talents."
"The British Pavilion has always been a
platform for showcasing the boldest and
most thought-provoking ideas in
contemporary architecture, design and
art. This year, with the support of The
Dalmore, we are able to expand our
vision and bring new perspectives to the
global stage. Together, we are
championing cross-disciplinary
collaboration and the power of design to
shape a better future," said Sevra
Davis, Director of Architecture, Design
and Fashion at the British Council and
Commissioner of the British Pavilion.
