Flagship Store At LAX

The Macallan has officially opened its newest boutique in travel retail at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Tom Bradley International Terminal, in partnership with DFS Group. This marks The Macallan’s first boutique on the West Coast USA, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to delivering world-class experiences that engage single malt whisky lovers and collectors, while inviting a wider audience to discover and enjoy the spirit of The Macallan. 

With its status as a major global gateway and host to upcoming global events such as the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the 2028 Summer Olympics, LAX offers The Macallan the perfect stage to reach discerning travellers from around the world. The new 92sqm boutique is located in Tom Bradley International Terminal alongside leading luxury brands such as Hermes, Gucci, Cartier and Burberry. This opening further strengthens The Macallan’s presence in the Americas, inviting global travellers to discover the brand’s exceptional single malt whiskies and signature experiences.

Designed in collaboration with acclaimed architect Jamie Fobert, the boutique brings to life The Macallan’s latest retail concept – ‘Nurtured by Nature’, with every detail playing a role in telling the story of The Macallan Estate and its Six Pillars. The design draws inspiration from these Six Pillars – unique elements that define The Macallan’s craft and character and invites guests to discover what sets the brand apart. Elements such as oak wood and copper highlight the role of The Macallan’s signature oak casks and its uniquely small stills, both fundamental to the whisky’s character. 

With discovery at the heart of the shopper journey, a number of services and shopping rituals enhance the experience. Throughout the space, knowledgeable boutique hosts are on hand to guide shoppers through The Macallan’s portfolio, share the stories behind each expression, and ensure a personalised experience for every guest. From a private consultation room, boutique hosts can provide tastings and deliver exclusive experiences, while a dedicated gifting area offers complimentary gift-wrapping and personalisation. 

Travellers can discover an expanded selection of The Macallan’s most sought-after releases, including boutique-exclusive, limited edition and travel exclusive whiskies such as the Colour Collection. The boutique will also offer ultra-prestige expressions, making it a true destination for enthusiasts and collectors.
