Today, we have demonstrated this through an immersive experience.
One of our six pillars is the peerless spirit - from the production process and location to the passion and people involved.
Our esteemed guests are deserving of such an experience from the world's most valuable single malt whisky."
We are an incomparable whisky brand representing the pinnacle of single malt whisky globally, the best of Scottish traditional yet innovative spirit.
In the same way, Ghana, as a country, embodies a harmonious blend of craftsmanship, creativity and tradition, making it one of Africa's most exceptional countries,” Ajao added.

“We need to take a moment to embrace gatherings such as this where we experience The Macallan as a family. With a strong nearly 200-year heritage, we are proud of our commitment to wood. It is a robust and long process from cutting the trees, to drying and seasoning them. All these speak to our attention to detail and excellence. And this is a common trait for everyone in this room,” Sandra said.
She took guests through a four-course dinner menu and whisky pairing, including its rare collection, The Reflexion.
Hosted by compere extraordinaire, Jerry Adjorlolo, alongside the Macallan Brand Ambassador, the stunning event had guests enjoying performances by a top-rated orchestra.
