As part of its ongoing 200th anniversary celebrations, venerable Scotch whisky brand The Macallan is collaborating with Cirque du Soleil to present a unique, immersive experience at The Macallan Estate.

The nightly shows promise a sensory extravaganza, set against the picturesque Scottish Highlands; an evening of performance, inspired stagecraft, and bespoke whisky tastings.
