Mary and Stella McCartney Collaborate for the First Time With The Macallan on Whiskey and Lifestyle Collection
The Macallan, a single malt whiskey distillery in Scotland, has collaborated with photographer and media personality Mary McCartney and her sister, fashion designer Stella McCartney, for a lifestyle and whiskey collection. This marks the first time the McCartney sisters have collaborated on a project.
The lifestyle collection features 11 limited-edition pieces, including handmade glassware, an ombre ceramic flask encased in an apple leather alternative sleeve, and a classic drinks tray in ceramic and brass finishes inspired by the purity of the sisters’ memories of their Scottish home on the West Coast.

“We all — The Macallan, Mary and I — wanted to create a collection that celebrated the highest quality of materials and incredible craftsmanship that would be fitting of the shared values between us all,” Stella McCartney said in a statement. “We envisaged pieces that were limited, yet would work together as a family. The idea was to have it live in your home, stand out, and of course be of the highest quality.”
The collection, titled Together, is being exclusively sold as a complete set available in limited numbers around the world from Wednesday, with availability in the U.S. in early December.
The sisters collaborated with The Macallan to mark the third edition of The Harmony Collection — The Macallan Harmony Collection Amber Meadow and Green Meadow. These two whiskeys, similar to the lifestyle collection, also drew inspiration from the McCartney sisters’ love of Scotland and memories of the Scottish countryside.
To create the limited-edition whiskeys, The Macallan Whiskey Mastery Team utilized a combination of sherry-seasoned oak and bourbon casks inspired by natural Scottish grasslands.
The packaging of each release features photography of The Macallan Estate captured by Mary McCartney, while the presentation boxes and bottle labels were made using discarded meadow cuttings embracing the reuse of natural materials to create beauty from resources at the end of their lives — further marking the sisters’ deep connection with Scotland.
The Macallan Harmony Collection Amber Meadow will be available at The Macallan Estate Bar, The Macallan Online Boutique and in premium retailers, bars and restaurants for a price point of $210. Green Meadow will be available in The Macallan Airport Boutiques and key airports globally at a price point of $185.
