A Journey Through Time: The Macallan Cocktails
To honour two centuries of The Macallan’s whisky-making legacy, The Douglas Club is offering a special trio of bespoke cocktails called A Journey Through Time. This is not your average flight—each drink takes inspiration from a different era, reflecting how The Macallan has evolved through the years. The series reimagines the classic Boulevardier, a cocktail born in the jazz-soaked, flapper-filled days of 1920s Paris. It’s back, and better than ever.
Here’s what to expect:
- Past: The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old mingles with Campari and Antica Formula Bitters ($27). It’s a nod to classic cocktail history, for those who like their drinks with a dose of nostalgia.
- Present: Featuring The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old, this drink throws in Amaro Montenegro, chocolate, coffee bitters, and cardamom for a smooth and aromatic experience ($35).
- Future: The star of the show is The Macallan’s limited-edition Harmony Collection Amber Meadow, paired with Antica Formula and a full orange treatment ($39). It’s a forward-thinking twist designed to impress.
Can’t decide? Try all three for just $49 and taste the evolution yourself.
Bar Snacks Worth Sipping For
The Douglas Club isn’t just about great drinks—they’ve got the snacks to match. While you’re there, treat yourself to oysters with nam jim, a chicken katsu sando, or the Morton Bay bug roll. For those after a little more crunch, the Cubano and French fries with truffle mayo have you covered. It’s not just about cocktails here; they’ve got a lineup of bites that’ll keep you coming back.
Time is Ticking—Don’t Miss Out!
The Macallan A Journey Through Time experience runs from 1 September to the end of October 2024. That means there’s only a limited time to step into the past, present, and future of whisky all in one sitting. Whether you’re a whisky aficionado or just someone who appreciates a good drink and a great snack, this is an event that shouldn’t be missed.
