Adorning the boxes of the distilled beverages is the work of British artist Michelle Lucking, whose pastel depictions further the brand’s longstanding emphasis on national pride.“I love exploring it, painting it,” she said.
Having spent the majority of her life shoreside, Ms. Lucking explores water frequently in her work. The element appears in most of her publicly released paintings.For the partnership, she made a series of pastel paintings that capture the river running through the distillery. The project tapped into her love for the natural world.
Ms. Lucking utilizes a palette of natural pigment pastels to bring the environment to life, stating that the medium allows her to get as close to the natural tones of the earth as possible. As of now, the Home Collection, River Spey is only available for pre-sale on The Macallan website, retailing for $487 per bottle. Alongside appearing on the box, three prints of Ms. Lucking's landscape paintings are included alongside the bottle with purchase.
“The Macallan Home Collection, River Spey is all about a deep connection to nature,” said Ms. Lucking, in a statement. The brand joins others in bringing national pride to the forefront of advertising. Image courtesy of The Macallan
