The Macallan
Masters of Photography: Capsule Edition:
Daido Moriyama ‘Remix, Remixed’
 To celebrate the 75th birthday of the
contemporary Japanese photographer Daido
Moriyama and acknowledge his
contribution to the art of photography,
The Macallan will launch The Macallan
Masters of Photography: Capsule Edition:
Daido Moriyama – Remix, Remixed.
This limited edition offering of only
500 bottles, exclusive to Asia Travel
Retail, features a remix of Daido
Moriyama work from his renowned book of
the same name "Remix" along with some
other specially selected material. Each
specially bound book, which includes a
series of inspired French fold pages,
has been hand signed by the photographer
himself. The aim was to showcase his
impactful style by bringing it to a
wider audience, pairing it with a
one-off cask strength single malt Scotch
whisky from The Macallan.
The whisky chosen by The Macallan’s
Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno brings alive
the subtleties of the photographers
work. Matured in a first fill sherry
seasoned oak cask (cask no. 15,245), the
whisky is indulgent and sumptuous, and
showcases the dark character of The
Macallan (58.9% ABV). Measuring 75 on
The Macallan colour scale this is one of
the darkest single casks ever released
and is priced at $1,750 (USD).
Ken Grier, Director of Malts at
Edrington, commented: "We took our
inspiration for this capsule edition of
The Macallan Masters of Photography
following an exclusive event by Daido
Moriyama, supported by The Macallan at
The Tate Modern, entitled ‘Menu’. 350
guests gathered and selected their
personal menu of Daido Moriyama’s
photographs which were then bound into a
silk screened book cover and signed by
Daido.
"This made such an impression that we
were moved to further celebrate his work
by creating a very distinctive limited
edition. We felt passionately about
capturing Moriyama’s challenging
perspective and style. His influence
over the photographic world in both
Japan and the rest of the world has been
profound and we’re relishing marking his
life and work with this latest release."
