The Macallan
today unveiled its latest collaboration,
with Oblix at The Shard, The Macallan
Whisky Trolley serving The Macallan
whiskies of all ages and styles.
The Macallan has teamed up with one
of London’s most iconic restaurants,
Oblix at The Shard. Oblix is a
destination bar and kitchen offering a
refined urban experience and stunning
cuisine. Located in the 32nd floor of
the Shard, the open kitchen and bar
proudly showcases diners the wood fired
oven, charcoal grill and rotisserie that
are the heart and soul of the Oblix
kitchen.
The Macallan and Oblix have collaborated
to offer guests a new pairing experience
designed to demonstrate the outstanding
range of The Macallan whiskies,
complemented with cheese.
 The Macallan Whisky Trolley was designed
and handcrafted in Glasgow from a
Macallan sherry butt, specifically
selected by The Master of Wood Stuart
MacPherson from the bodegas in Spain.
The Macallan’s meticulous approach to
wood and cask selection has such a
profound effect on the liquid, it was
felt this was a perfect way to showcase
one of the casks.
Commenting on how the collaboration came
about, Aaron Masonde, Oblix bar manager
said: "The Macallan and Oblix share a
likeness in that we are both trying to
push boundaries and change the way
people perceive food and drink. In
partnership with The Macallan we have
worked together to offer guests a new
experience to discover the complexities
of The Macallan, perfectly complemented
with cheese."
The whisky trolley will serve a range of
The Macallan whiskies of all ages and
styles along with a selection of fine
Scottish cheeses served on a wooden
cheeseboard map, allowing customers to
choose a unique whisky pairing. It will
also offer a Maxxium Malts cheeseboard
and pairing with whiskies such as
Auchentoshan, Laphroaig and Highland
Park.
Chris Anderson, Luxury Marketing
Controller for Maxxium UK, commented: "Oblix
is a very exclusive London restaurant
who we have been working with for a
number of years. This partnership
provides us with a great opportunity to
offer their customers something unique
when it comes to tasting The Macallan
range."
If you cant make it along to Oblix you
can still create your own pairing of The
Macallan and cheese, you will find the current
Macallan whiskey range available from
