The Bar: Shot in the Red Spot Bar, nestled in the town of Hudson, the mood<br />
is upbeat, lively and relaxed as Kevin McKidd meets up with friends to enjoy<br />
a glass of The Macallan together. Like McKidd, the note of Vibrant Oak in<br />
the 1991 bottle makes a statement but is refined enough not to dominate.<br />
As part of The Macallan’s ongoing commitment<br />
to endorse photography, this renowned<br />
series, shot by Annie Leibovitz and featuring<br />
acclaimed actor Kevin McKidd, has travelled<br />
the globe, making exhibition stops in<br />
Moscow, Taiwan, Spain and Hong Kong,<br />
with Cape Town soon to follow.<br />
The Macallan Masters of Photography series features exclusive<br />
collaborations, marrying the art of whisky making to the artist’s<br />
interpretation of the world of The Macallan. Chosen for her<br />
exceptional skill and inimitable style, Annie Leibovitz has interpreted<br />
four single cask variants from The Macallan which are being released<br />
for the first time, resulting in four powerful images.<br />
“I am the first colour photographer chosen by The Macallan for<br />
its Master of Photography series. Prior to this I hadn’t realised how<br />
complicated and deep the distilling process is. That warmth and<br />
richness is what I tried to bring to the photographs. Kevin McKidd<br />
drove the imagery. Where Kevin comes from and his rugged good<br />
looks are what the photographs are all about. It wasn’t casting, it’s<br />
authentic,” commented Annie Leibovitz.<br />
The Macallan Masters of Photography: Annie Leibovitz<br />
Edition comprises of 1,000 limited edition bottles. Each bottle<br />
contains one of four unique single malts, crafted to reflect<br />
the mood of the signed Annie Leibovitz print that it is paired<br />
with. The four single cask whiskies have been matured in<br />
different cask types, including both European and American<br />
oak, seasoned with sherry, in different sizes from puncheon<br />
and hogshead to butt. This ensures complete originality. The<br />
bottle and print are presented in a bespoke photo-archival box,<br />
stamped with The Macallan brand and Annie Leibovitz’s name.<br />
The Macallan Masters of Photography: Annie Leibovitz edition<br />
is available to purchase worldwide, and is priced at $2,750<br />
(approximately R22,000).<br />
The Masters of Photography Annie Leibovitz exhibition will be<br />
open to the public on 26 th September 2012 at The White Room at<br />
Tjing Tjing in Cape Town, from 20h00 onwards. T<br />
