Including The Glenlivet, Aberlour, and Secret Speyside, each unique whisky is brought to life in the space using art; exploring unique forms, textures and visuals to help connect consumers to the products in a more emotive way.
The 13.5-square-meter space takes inspiration from a contemporary art gallery design through a clean and neutral aesthetic with the individual brands highlighted through unique brand cues. Within the space, two distinct zones - Groundbreakers and Masterpieces allow shoppers to explore and celebrate different tastes, styles, and brand stories.
Groundbreakers is focused on discovery, aimed at newcomers who are taking their first steps into the world of Single Malts, and enthusiasts who are searching for something new to explore. By focusing on craft and flavor, Groundbreakers provides a space for shoppers to discover the category in an accessible way, whilst offering depth and storytelling for whisky enthusiasts. The space showcases established Single Malts, such as The Glenlivet and Aberlour, engaging shoppers with big flavors alongside a vibrant and bold colour palette which captures the energy and passion of the brands included.

The in-depth brand stories are brought to life in the space through light, animated content, poetry projections, and soundscapes, immersing shoppers visiting the gallery in a sensory experience similar to that found in the distilleries.
