The Dalmore hosted an intimate evening to celebrate Melodie Leung, Director, Zaha Hadid Architects and the launch of Luminary No.2 2024 Edition at The Future Perfect in Los Angeles.
The second in The Luminary Series from Highland Distillery, The Dalmore, was unveiled in March to much acclaim from attendees spanning the worlds of whisky, art, design and luxury. The Dalmore Luminary Series is a unique three-part partnership between The Dalmore and V&A Dundee, which celebrates the worlds of whisky mastery and architectural design. Melodie Leung, director at Zaha Hadid Architects is the esteemed talent and creative collaborator behind Luminary No.2.
Each edition of The Luminary Series offers two entirely different whiskies. Firstly, ‘The Rare’, which will be offered for auction by Sotheby’s London and comprises a 49 Year Old Highland Single Malt, one of only three bottles to be made, uniquely housed in a striking glass sculpture, designed by Leung.
Only three bottles and two sculptures have and will ever be created. One set will be offered at auction In London via Sotheby’s online, as part of a Finest and Rarest Whisky sale, open 14th-31st May. This auction will be presented as part of 'The Luxury Edit’, a series of sales at Sotheby’s in London, showcasing watches, jewellery, spirits, wine and pop culture. The Dalmore Luminary No.2 ‘The Rare’, is expected to reach six-figures at auction, with The Dalmore donating all proceeds to V&A Dundee. Both the sculpture and decanter will be on display in Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries from 24th-29th May, alongside an array of items, also featured in the luxury auctions.
