The Macallan Quest Collection has launched in global travel retail following a month-long exclusive tie-up with DFS Group at Singapore Changi Airport.

Quest, unveiled to members of the press during TFWA WE, initially launched across all four of Changi’s terminals in January and will now be available on-shelf at key airports globally.

A giant, rotating bottle cut-out display housed in an illuminated diamond-shaped glass showcases Quest’s four different expressions at Changi.

As part of the promotion, shoppers were taught more about the collection via interactive displays that emphasised the cask story and flavour of the four expressions.
