THE MACALLAN

The Macallan M: Mastery in the Power of Three

 

An exquisite creation born of a collaboration between three masters: The Macallan, Fabien Baron & Lalique.

The Macallan M masterpiece is a landmark first for this famous whisky-maker; a new flagship that puts their peerless spirit into a beautiful decanter, expertly crafted by Lalique under the design eye of Fabien Baron, one of the world’s most prominent Creative Directors.

Launched globally on May 30th, 2013, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong, the illustrious event gathered a total of 800 esteemed guests and featured a stunning performance by the Hong Kong Sinfonietta.

At Lee Wolter, our job scope in helping to put together such a uniquely prestigious event of this magnitude included:

Event Management

  • Planning, conceptualizing and managing the rundown for the evening.
  • Liaising with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta – who do not normally accept requests to appear at events of this nature –to organize their performance on the evening, including the coordination of all sound equipment needed for a recital that would ultimately be conducted by renowned baton-wielder, Ms. Yip Wing Sie.
  • Coordinating, briefing and managing related parties such as the production house, venue, catering, banquet staff, MC, photographers, videographers, etc.
