A multi-sensory dinner celebrating 200 years of whisky-making tradition
To mark 200 years of whisky-making tradition, The Macallan hosted an intimate and immersive dinner at Nxt Museum in collaboration with HUSH HUSH Amsterdam.
Guests were immersed in a multi-sensory journey inspired by The Macallan’s heritage and forward-facing vision. The evening also marked the debut of their new TIME:SPACE collection. From bespoke cocktails and curated projection visuals to a Michelin-starred menu, the event bridged tradition and modernity, all within Amsterdam’s leading space for art and technology.
HUSH HUSH and The Macallan’s goal was to create a luxury private brand experience for a number of special guests, blending The Macallan’s rich storytelling and premium product presentation.
Nxt Museum was chosen for its ability to deliver a seamless sensory experience across multiple moments – from intimate welcome to immersive brand showcase – all under one roof.
The evening opened with a welcome cocktail in the Entrance Hall, where guests gathered before being invited into Nxt Stage for a seated dinner.
The dinner featured a bespoke three-course menu curated by Chef Richard van Oostenbrugge of Amsterdam’s two Michelin-starred Restaurant 212, offering a refined culinary narrative that paired with Macallan’s signature expressions.
The programme included live speeches and a video piece exploring the past, present, and future of The Macallan. Guests were then invited to another section of the museum space for a guided whisky tasting and cocktail reveal before returning to Nxt Stage for the final toast.
