Dezeen | Watch a talk with Zaha Hadid Architects and The Dalmore on their rare whisky collaboration | Dezeen @dezeen | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this talk filmed by Dezeen for The Dalmore, Zaha Hadid Architects director Melodie Leung explains how she worked with the Scottish distiller to create a rare edition of its single malt whisky.
During the talk, which was moderated by Yoko Choy, China editor for Wallpaper*, Leung described her collaboration with whisky makers Richard Paterson and Gregg Glass, with whom she worked to develop a Dalmore 49-year-old single malt whisky housed in a unique glass sculpture.
"It wasn't just about the physical outcome of the project," she said, explaining how Paterson and Glass drew on her childhood memories to create the one-off edition, which will be up for auction at Sotheby's this week to raise money for V&A Dundee.
The final product is "imbued with all of our life experiences," she continued.
The event marked the second instalment of a partnership between V&A Dundee and The Dalmore called The Luminary Series, which pairs notable architects with whisky makers to produce limited edition whiskies.
