Masters of Photography Collection

World-renowned photographer Albert Watson showcased captivating images documenting the real-life journey of The Macallan’s exceptional Spanish sherry oak casks to an audience of celebrities and notables at Milk Studios in NYC. gala

 

For this special project, Watson – winner of the prestigious Royal Photographic Society’s 2010 Centenary Medal and celebrity photographer to such stars as Jack Nicholson, Keith Richards and Kate Moss – took a 12-day photographic odyssey to document the journey of The Macallan’s signature sherry oak casks from the forests of Northern Spain to The Macallan’s home in Scotland. Covering more than 600 miles of bucolic scenery, Watson’s images follow the road trip of a young couple taking this iconic voyage and the breathtaking backdrops they encounter along the way.
